• Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager

From Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, you can update the Lenovo XClarity Controller firmware, the

UEFI firmware, and the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager software.

Note: By default, the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Graphical User Interface is displayed when

you press F1. If you have changed that default to be the text-based system setup, you can bring up the

Graphical User Interface from the text-based system setup interface.

• Lenovo XClarity Controller

If you need to install a specific update, you can use the Lenovo XClarity Controller interface for a specific

server.

Notes:

– To perform an in-band update through Windows or Linux, the operating system driver must be installed

and the Ethernet-over-USB (sometimes called LAN over USB) interface must be enabled.

Additional information about configuring Ethernet over USB is available at:

– If you update firmware through the Lenovo XClarity Controller, make sure that you have downloaded

and installed the latest device drivers for the operating system that is running on the server.

• Lenovo XClarity Administrator

If you are managing multiple servers using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, you can update firmware for

all managed servers through that interface. Firmware management is simplified by assigning firmware-

compliance policies to managed endpoints. When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed

endpoints, Lenovo XClarity Administrator monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags

any endpoints that are out of compliance.
