1.1 Impact of the UpgradeBefore you upgrade an earlier version to a new version, read this section carefully to learn aboutthe possible impact on the system.Table 1-1 describes the impact of the upgrade on the system.

Table 1-1 Impact of the upgradeNo. Item Impact Impact Description1 iMana 200 Impact on services None

Impact on operation andmaintenance (O&M)

No other operation is allowed duringthe upgrade. You should restart theiMana 200 immediately or later afterthe upgrade. Services are interruptedduring the restart.

2 BIOS Impact on services The server must be restarted after theupgrade, and services are interrupted.

Impact on the operatingsystem (OS)

When you use the iMana 200 toupgrade the BIOS, the OS is notaffected.

Impact on O&M NoneNOTE

The server must not be restarted during theupgrade.

3 LCD Impact on services NoneImpact on the operatingsystem (OS)

When you use the iMana 200 toupgrade the LCD, the OS is notaffected.

Impact on O&M None

NOTECurrently, only the RH5885H V3 support LCD modules. Other servers please ignore this module duringthe upgrade.

1.2 PrecautionsTable 1-2 describes the precautions for upgrading the server.



2

Table 1-2 Precautions for upgrading the serverNo. Description1 Read this document before upgrading the server. For any problems or

suggestions pertaining to this document, contact Technical Support.2 Perform the upgrade during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on the

system and services.3 Time required for a software upgrade:

l iMana 200: 20 minutesNOTE

The active and standby images of the iMana 200 must be upgraded separately.Therefore, you must upgrade the iMana 200 twice, and each upgrade takes about 5to 10 minutes. For details, see Upgrading the iMana 200.

l BIOS: 10 minutesl LCD: 10 minutes

1.3 Version Requirementsl The BIOS version must match with iMana 200 version. Before upgrading the BIOS, you

must upgrade the iMana 200 to the required version. For details about the version mappingbetween the BIOS and the iMana 200, see the release notes.

l If Sandy-bridge CPUs need to be upgraded to Ivy-bridge CPUs, you need to upgrade theBIOS to V3.67 or later.

l NOTICEUse CLI to upgrade the BIOS only when the server system is powered off; otherwise, theserver may fail to start. For details, see the Huawei Server iMana 200 User Guide.

Before upgrading the BIOS from V060 or earlier to V367, you must power off the servicesystem. After upgrading, the configuration information in the BIOS is restored to the defaultsettings.

l Before rolling back the BIOS from V367 to V060 or earlier, contact Huawei to obtain theBIOS_ME.bin file. Do not use an .hpm file for rollback; otherwise, power consumptionwill be affected. After the rollback, the configuration information in the BIOS is restoredto the default settings.

l When rolling back from the Ivy-bridge CPU to the Sandy-bridge CPU, you must roll backthe BIOS and then the BMC. Power off the server system before rolling back the BIOS.Then the BIOS parameters are restored to the default values on the Sandy Bridge platform. Only BMC 5.88 supports direct BIOS rollback. For the other BMC versions, you must use CLI to upgrade bios.bin to roll back the

BIOS.
