This document presents some common tips to simplify your daily firmware management process.
Prerequisites
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you:
Have a working knowledge of Cisco UCS Server Blade software and hardware.• Be familiar with the UCS manager GUI.• Understand the impact and implications of the different commands described in this document• Be familiar with the UCS components and topology. Refer to the diagram for a typical solution•
Components Used
The information in this document is based on Cisco UCS.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the
devices used in this document started with a default configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you
understand the potential impact of any command.
Network Diagram
A typical Cisco UCS topology looks something like this:

2.1 Firmware Management with GUI
Before you perform firmware management, refer to prerequisites for firmware upgrade or downgrade. It is
recommended that all firmware management be handled through the GUI.
View Installed Firmware
Complete these steps in order to view installed firmware in UCS through the GUI:
Log into Cisco UCS Manager.1. In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.2. Click the Firmware Management tab in the Work pane.3. Click the Installed Firmware tab.4.
Packages
The Packages tab:
Keeps track of all packages on the system• Shows deleted Images• When all Images are deleted, the package is removed from the tab•
Images
The Images tab:
Allows you to obtain information on individual Images in the package• Allows you delete the Images• Once all Images associated to a Package are deleted, the Package is removed from the Package tab•
Download Tasks
When you download a firmware image bundle, a Fabric Interconnect needs at least twice as much available
space as the size of the firmware image bundle. If the bootflash does not have sufficient space, delete the
obsolete firmware, core files, and other unnecessary objects from the fabric interconnect. Before you
download a new bundle, check the available free space on the Fabric Interconnects:
In the Navigation pane, select Equipment.1. Expand Fabric Interconnects, and select Fabric Interconnect #.2. Click the General tab in the Work pane to the right.3. Expand Local Storage Information.4. Check both fabric interconnects.5. Delete Images and Packages if space is limited.6.
Use the Download Tasks tab in order to download firmware. The firmware image name can be between one
and 16 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters, and you cannot change this
name after the object has been saved. The system downloads and unpackages the bundle and distributes it to
both fabric interconnects. You can watch the progress on the FSM tab.
From this screen, you can download, update, and activate firmware.
2.2 Firmware Management with CLI
Complete these steps in order to view installed firmware in UCS through the CLI:
Log into Cisco UCS through the CLI.1. Issue the scope system command.2. Enter the show firmware expand command.3.
