Lenovo XClarity Essentials UpdateXpress
(hereafter referred to as the UpdateXpress application) can be used
to acquire and apply UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSP) and individual
updates to the local or remote system. The UpdateXpress application
acquires and deploys UpdateXpress System Pack (UXSP) update packages
and individual updates. UXSPs contain firmware and device driver updates.
The following section briefly introduces the four main functions
of the UpdateXpress application. For more information, see
Using the UpdateXpress application.
- Updating the local server
- Update the local
machine currently running the UpdateXpress application. The machine
type is detected and updates are acquired and automatically applied.
- Updating a remote server
- Update the remote
machine by the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) running on the
machine. Users need a Simple File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server
to transfer the updates to the target remote machine.
- Creating a repository of updates
- Choose
one or more machine types for which updates are acquired from the
Lenovo Support Web site. Updates are downloaded to the folder specified,
but no updates are applied. Users can later use the UpdateXpress application
to apply those updates by indicating that updates should be obtained
from the folder specified rather than from the Lenovo Support Web
site.
- Remote RAID Configuration
- Configure RAID
array using BMC service.
