Management Module Upgrade for Blades

[CoreyWilson]

Im having some trouble trying to update the management module of our ibm blade centre's to version 1.16 as indicated on IBM's website as a critical update. The link can be found here:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-54939

The problem is, when connected to the web interface of the management modules, and choosing to update firmware under the the MM control section, specifying the appropriate file in this case cnetbrus.pkt and selecting upload an error is returned in the web browser frame stating "File Upload error. Try again" I get this on every switch and no matter what file .pkt file i choose to try and upload first. I have also redownloaded the update to ensure it was not corrupt on download or extraction. Apparently this supercedes all previous updates so is not suppose to matter which version is currently installed.

Any suggestions as to what may be the problem here?

Thanks

I had it failing on me when accessing the MM from a different network. Ended up accessing the MM from a PC in the same subnet as the Blade Center, the patch then happened successfully.

Hello, I subscribed to this thread so got the email someone replied.

It actually ended up being our firewall blocking the upload of the firmware updates. when i updated from a pc in the same network it worked as expected.
