Firmware update support

Update compute node firmware of the same hardware type. IBM® Platform Cluster Manager Community Edition does not have firmware update support for IBM Power Systems™.

The firmware update only supports booted nodes of the same hardware type at one time. For each hardware type, you must complete the steps below.

  1. Install UXSPI on System x compute nodes (Only if you are updating System x firmware)
  2. Download the required firmware update files
  3. Enable firmware update support on the Platform Cluster Manager Community Edition Web Portal
  4. Update firmware on compute nodes
