Update details
From this page, you can apply firmware updates on servers or groups of servers.
NOTE:
If there are no applicable upgrades or downgrades for a server or a group of servers, performing a firmware update on that server or a group of servers causes no action on the server or group of servers.
- Before applying the updates on cluster update groups,

- Cluster service is running on all cluster nodes.
- Automatic updates are not configured to automatically install updates on any failover cluster node.
- All the failover cluster nodes should use the same update source.
- A firewall rule that enables remote shutdown on each node in the failover cluster.
- Proxy server setting on each failover cluster node is set to a local proxy server.
- Configured CAU plug-in for self-updating mode is registered on all failover cluster nodes.
- Failover cluster nodes have the same set of registered CAU plug-ins.
- Configured Updating Run options are valid.
- At least two failover cluster nodes are owners of the CAU clustered role
- All failover cluster nodes are able to access Windows PowerShell scripts and use identical scripts.
