Updating Firmware on Adapters in a Host
1299
The tree-view shows all adapters and their corresponding hosts for which the
selected firmware file is compatible. Use the checkboxes next to the host and
adapter entries to select or deselect an entry. Checking an adapter selects or
removes that adapter; checking a host removes or selects all eligible adapters for
that host.
To view the compatible adapters in a fabric-centric mode, select the Group by
Fabric checkbox.
For adapters where each individual port can have new firmware installed, you can
select the ports on the adapter to which you want to download firmware.
3. Make your selections and click Start Download. A message prompting you to
confirm the firmware update appears, click Yes.
When the update begins, a status message in the Active Job window shows the
progress as either “Job is in progress” or “Waiting in queue to start”. The ports on
which the firmware is being downloaded have the status “Job is in progress” the
others have “Waiting in queue to start”. You can select the checkbox to cancel the
jobs with status “Waiting in queue to start”. When download is completed, the
entry moves to the Completed Jobs window. The status message field in the
Completed Jobs window shows the status of the completed job.
Notes:

If you start firmware update and log out from the vSphere console before
the firmware update is completed, all pending jobs fail.

The firmware update progresses in the background until all the jobs are
completed. During this period you can still browse through the other tabs.
