Using UCS PowerTool To Upload UCS Firmware
It’s patch time! That means time to upload the firmware bundles to all my UCS domains. Instead of doing it manually I figured i would create a quick script to do that for me.
Pre-Requsites
Link to Script
Preparing to Execute the Script
The script is pretty straight forward, just need to define a few variables seen below and then you execute the script. I will walk you through the process.
1#Define Variables
2$cred = Get-Credential
3$domains = "ucs01.lab.local","ucs02.lab.local"
4$fileName = "C:\Users\david\Downloads\ucs-k9-bundle-infra.2.2.6e.A.bin"
5
6#Cycles through each UCS uploading the UCS Firmware
7Foreach ($ucs in $domains) {
8 Connect-UCS $ucs -Credential $cred
9 Send-UcsFirmware -LiteralPath $fileName | Watch-Ucs -Property TransferState -SuccessValue downloaded -PollSec 30 -TimeoutSec 600
10 Disconnect-UCS
11}
Execute the Script
- Run .\UploadUCSFirmware.ps1
