How to manage firmware upgrade scheduled jobs in EMC?

Rey_Juan_Carlos — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 21:59:00 GMT

I want to know if the scheduled firmware upgrades can be managed somehow. It would be practical to cancel, reschedule or simply get a list of jobs pending.

Hi,

Here is a topic that outlines the process of upgrading.

http://emc.extremenetworks.com/content/oneview/docs/network/docs/l_ov_ht_firmware.htm

In the Upgrade Firmware window, the Schedule Upgrade checkbox indicates if a scheduled upgrade is pending. You can use this field to reschedule the job.

Thanks,

John

The upgrading proccess is clear to me but I dont see the pending upgrade in the Upgrade Firmware window, if someone can provide a screenshot I would appreciate it.

I wish that all the scheduled upgrades could be managed from the scheduled task in the administration tab, not device by device....

Thanks.

Hi there, I just wanted to bump this thread to show interest. It would be very helpful to me if I could manage my scheduled firmware upgrades. Any idea on when this feature will be available?

Thanks.

It will definitely be helpful when this option becomes available.

I need the ability to change and delete scheduled updates, too.

This is a tip, thanks for sharing.

Still the ability should be rolled into the GUI. I strongly encourage customers to use the CLI for switch configuration, but NetSight is all about the GUI so all features should be available in the GUI.

We would also like to be able to see these scheduled upgrades.

Do you know what release version can we expect to see this? @Bob Maheu

Please inform us about roadmap. I have at least 5 Cu's in the netherlands who like to use this feature. I will reach out to our Extreme contacts to prioritize.

Having to use sql commands to manage scheduled jobs is not acceptable. Unfortunately Extreme has spent so many resources integrating all the companies they purchased they never finished the core functionality of XMC. But they did remove the much more functional firmware upgrade process from Console.

I couldn’t believe what I read when I stumbled across this thread 🙂 SQL query, really?

Please provide a feature to view.

Thanks,

I know this thread is now 3 (Three!) years old, but I was looking for the same thing and was struggling.

We are running v.8.5.5.32 and I still can’t see how I can check whether a device has a pending upgrade from the device view.

I can, however, view ”Scheduled upgrades and archives” from Tasks>Scheduled tasks.

These can then be ordered based on the fields (e.g. “start time”, “device”, “action”) they can also be cancelled by right clicking on the required line and selecting cancel.

My general experience with XMC is that quite often you can do what you want, but it is not intuitive, and the documentation rarely helps.

Further to my previous reply; although I can see pending firmware upgrade jobs in “Tasks>Scheduled tasks” I cannot see the detail of the jobs (so I can’t see which image has been selected for instance), it would be better if you could click on the job and be taken to the job details section where details could be seen (and ammended if neccessary).

thanks,
