To prepare your environment for BOFM, you must
upgrade the firmware of the AMMs and blades, including the BMC, BIOS,
and additional expansion cards in your environment. In addition, optimum
use of BOFM 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.
