Upgrading the System
To ensure an optimal server status, periodically upgrade server drivers, firmware, or management software to the latest versions.
Firmware or Management Software
Upgrade server firmware or management software using one of the following methods:
- Upgrade the iBMC and BIOS. For details, see the FusionServer Pro G5500 Server Upgrade Guide (iBMC).
- Upgrade the NIC firmware using the CLI. For details, see the Huawei Server Firmware Upgrade Guide.
Drivers
If the existing driver versions on a server are inconsistent with the driver version mapping or some chip drivers are not installed, install the drivers of the required versions. Otherwise, the server may operate abnormally. Obtain the required driver installation package from the Huawei Server Compatibility Checker.
The driver upgrade procedure varies according to the OS type and version. For details, see the Huawei Server OS Installation Guide.
