Firmware upgrades
Firmware upgrades deliver the latest bug fixes and protect your devices from firmware vulnerabilities. When you perform a firmware upgrade operation, NCM upgrades the firmware on multiple devices. The devices targeted by each operation are upgraded sequentially, but you can run multiple firmware upgrade operations simultaneously. To prepare for and perform firmware upgrade operations, see the following topics:
- Set up the storage location and firmware repository
- Simultaneous firmware upgrade operations
- Perform a firmware upgrade operation
Firmware upgrade templates define the commands that are executed when a user performs a firmware upgrade operation. NCM provides a set of default firmware upgrade templates, and you can create new templates to enable firmware upgrades on other device types. You can also share firmware upgrade templates through the SolarWinds community website, THWACK. See the following topics for more information:
