Install a firmware update
When you Run the Health Check , you might see messages alerting you to perform a firmware update.
Use the Advanced Maintenance menu to stage and apply firmware updates. On a Tanium Physical Appliance, the updates include iDRAC firmware updates, PERC firmware updates, NIC firmware updates, and BIOS firmware updates.
Updating a firmware update is a major task. The process can take from 10-30 minutes, depending on model. Allow the firmware update to complete before attempting any other tasks with the appliance. Do NOT manually power off or reboot the appliance.
- Sign in to the TanOS console as a user with the tanadmin role.
