System and method for automatic enforcement of firmware revisions in SCSI/SAS/FC systems
TLDR
In this paper, a system and method for automatic enforcement of firmware revision in an information handling system are disclosed, which includes checking, verifying, and flagging a revision status of the firmware for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection.Abstract:
A system and method for automatic enforcement of firmware revision in an information handling system are disclosed. The method includes scanning an interconnection for hardware devices attached to the interconnection in an information handling system and determining an interconnection compatibility of each hardware device attached to the interconnection based on checking, verifying, and flagging a revision status of the firmware for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection. The method also includes displaying a warning to a user about possible compatibility issues, based on determining the interconnection compatibility of each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection and determining whether a supported revision of firmware for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection is locally stored as a single uniform release, based on determining the interconnection compatibility of each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection. The method also includes prompting the user whether to proceed with a firmware upgrade for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection using the locally stored supported revision of the firmware for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection in the single uniform release, based on determining the interconnection compatibility of each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection and upgrading automatically the firmware for each of the hardware devices attached to the interconnection based on prompting the user.read more
