Hello guys,


What is the best and simplest way to upgrade all the firmwares for the server?

I tried SmarKit, but it's unable to auto scan the server and advice what are the firmwares need to be updated.

Required ourself to download the firmware individually, but I wouldn't know to download which one.

The Smartkit only scan BIOS/CLPD/iBMC, what about NIC, RAID, and the rest?


Huawei 2288H V5 Support Guide, Manuals & PDF – Huawei


This software download section is too complicated, not providing RAID, NIC firmware etc.


Is there a ISO that we can load, it will scan and auto install the firmware itself to the latest version?


Regards,

Reeyon

Hello, reeyon. 

Nice to meet you again. 

Let me answer your question one by one. 

Smartkit is useful for upgrading the firmware. In fact, it can upgrade all firmware, if you have the package.

I think you maybe choose the wrong option. Please choose the Upgrading PCIe Card and Hard Disk Firmware

User guide:

If you want to upgrade the NIC, RAID. etc, you also can use the Smart Provisioning or FwUpgrade tool.


For more details, you can refer to

Yes, it is.

The number of download times is limited because customers maliciously download Huawei software.
You can download it tommorrow.

Thank you for understanding.  

hello Stephen,


Noted. There is bunch of firmwares I need to download. But this limitation is quite unreasonable i_f31.gif


While re-downloading the firmware today, I got this error from the downloader.

Hi, bro.
What I want to tell you is that the driver is based on the OS and it doesn't matter which tool you use to install the driver.

So you can install the OS directly or use the Smartkit, what ever.
