When downloading updates using the links below, under Available Formats, select Update Package for MS Windows 64-Bit.

[ Within iDRAC ]

1. Select Maintenance > System Update

2. Choose File > select the local file > Upload

Important:

1. Confirm that there are good backups of all servers before installation any updates.

2. Almost all firmware updates involve restarting all Virtual Machines and the ESXi host. This process can take anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes. Try to schedule the installation:

• In the evening the day before your next scheduled visit.

• While completeting out-of-hours works.

• During your visit if agreed with SLT at the school.

3. Repeat step 2 for each firmware update (this will install the firmware updates sequentially one after the other during the reboot of the host and will increase installation time).

4. Tick the updates to install > select either:

   • Install and Reboot (shuts down the ESXi VMs gracefully > restarts the host > installs the firmware updates > boots into ESXi and starts VMs)

   • Install Next Reboot (prepares the firmware updates > during next host shutdown / restart, installs the firmware updates > boots into ESXi and starts VMs)

Note: You can check the current firmware version by navigating to iDRAC Settings > Overview.

This process is expected to take between 25 - 30 minutes from start to finish.
