Upgrading From S3260 With One M3 Server Node to S3260 With One M4
Server Node
This procedure upgrades a Cisco UCS S3260 system that is using one C3X60 M3 server node to a Cisco
UCS S3260 system that uses one C3X60 M4 server node.
Items Required For This Upgrade
Hardware
•
A Cisco UCS S3260 system with one M3 server node and one SIOC. All chassis and server node
components must be running Cisco IMC 2.0(7) or 2.0(9) firmware before you begin the upgrade.
Note
Migration to S3260 with M4 server nodes is supported only with chassis part-number versions
68-5286-06 and later. The motherboard in these chassis versions supports all M4 system
components.
•
New M4 server node running Cisco IMC 2.0(13) or later firmware (the factory default).
Software
•
Up to five IP addresses, either configured in your DHCP server or manually entered for static IP
addresses. See
System IP Addresses, page 2-14
for more information.
•
The latest Host Upgrade Utility package for Cisco IMC 2.0(7) or 2.0(9) firmware. This is used to
update the entire Cisco S3260 system with M3 nodes to the prerequisite firmware.
•
The Host Upgrade Utility package for Cisco IMC 2.0(13) or later firmware. This is used to upgrade
the system to M4 server node requirements.
For instructions on downloading and using the utility, see the instructions in the guide for your
release:
Upgrade Considerations
Note the following considerations:
•
After the upgrade, you must manually define drive zoning to map the hard drives to the individual
server node.
•
After the upgrade, your boot SSDs might lose their operating system. In this case, reinstall your
operating system to the boot SSDs.
