Preparing
for
OFM
In
order
to
prepare
your
environment
for
OFM,
you
will
need
to
upgrade
the
firmware
of
the
AMMs
and
blades,
including
the
BMC,
BIOS,
and
additional
expansion
cards
in
your
environment.
In
addition,
optimum
use
of
OFM
requires
that
you
setup
your
blade
environment
to
boot
from
SAN.
Important:
UXSPs
simplify
the
updating
of
all
of
your
firmware.
However,
before
you
can
upgrade
your
firmware
on
Emulex
and
Qlogic
drivers,
you
must
ensure
that
these
fiber
channel
cards
are
already
installed
and
operating
properly.
If
you
are
not
using
UXSPs,
follow
the
instructions
in
“Steps
to
update
firmware
without
an
OS”
on
page
8.
Upgrading
firmware
Before
you
can
use
OFM,
you
must
first
update
the
firmware
of
the
BladeCenter
and
blades,
including
BMC,
BIOS,
and
additional
expansion
cards
in
your
environment.
