Updating RMM Firmware with Sentral
To update firmware using Sentral, the following pre-existing conditions must be met:
•
The R4300 Chassis Group to be updated must already be discovered within
Sentral.
•
A TFTP Server must be configured in Sentral's Console Configuration screen, and
running.
•
The firmware update must be in a directory that is visible to the Sentral Console.
NOTE: If the Sentral server is also the TFTP server, do not copy the firmware update
file to the root directory, or to the directory where the TFTP server is
configured to get the file. This will cause the update to silently fail. For
example: If the user has the rmm52b2 file in the directory c:\Firmware, do
not configure the TFTP server to "get" the files from this same location.
To update RMM firmware using Sentral, do the following:
1. Download the update package from the ClearCube support website.
2. Unzip the update package and read the enclosed Technical Bulletin (a PDF file) to
learn any special considerations for the package.
3. Copy the package to a directory visible to the Sentral Console.
4. From the Functional menu, select Management
5. In the Tasks menu, click Update Firmware.
6. Select the primary RMM from the Primary Execution Pane.
7. In the Tasks menu, click on Select for Update.
8. In the Serial Number column, select the serial number of the chassis containing
the RMM to be updated.
9. Click on Browse and choose the firmware update file.
10. Press Update Now. The Primary RMM and the other modules in this chassis are
updated.
After the Primary RMM has been updated, do the following to update the other RMMs
in the Chassis Group:
1. From the Functional menu, select Management
2. In the Tasks menu, click Update Firmware.
3. In the Tasks menu, click on Update Group.
4. Select the Chassis Group that contains the RMM you just updated, and click
Select for Update.
5. Select Browse and browse for the update file.
6. Press Update Now. The other RMMs and modules in this Chassis Group are
updated.
7. After updating each Chassis Group, re-discover the Chassis Group.
