Firmware Policy

A Firmware Policy specifies the target firmware bundle versions for one or more server models. It allows you to control which firmware release is applied to servers during an upgrade, and optionally exclude specific hardware components from being updated.

Examples

Example-1: Apply a specific firmware bundle to C220 M7 servers in standalone mode.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          firmware:
            - name: prod-firmware
              target_platform: Standalone
              model_bundle_combo:
                - model_family: UCSC-C220-M7
                  bundle_version: 4.3(2.240010)
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: Upgrade multiple server generations while skipping local disks.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          firmware:
            - name: multi-gen-firmware
              description: Firmware policy for M6 and M7 servers, disks excluded
              exclude_component_list:
                - local-disk
              model_bundle_combo:
                - model_family: UCSC-C220-M6
                  bundle_version: 4.2(3j)
                - model_family: UCSC-C220-M7
                  bundle_version: 4.3(2.240010)
