Overview
========
Firmware update orchestration allows the firmware on the hosts of an entire
|prod-long| system to be updated with a single operation.
You can configure and run firmware update orchestration using the |CLI|, or the
``stx-nfv`` VIM REST API.
.. note::
Firmware update is currently not supported on the Horizon Web interface.
Only host device |FPGA| firmware update is currently supported.
------------------------------------------
Firmware update orchestration requirements
------------------------------------------
Firmware update orchestration can only be done on a system that meets the
following conditions:
- The system is clear of alarms \(with the exception of alarms for locked
hosts, stopped instances, and firmware updates in progress\).
.. note::
When configuring firmware update orchestration, you have the option to
ignore alarms that are not of management-affecting severity. For more
information, see :ref:`Kubernetes Version Upgrade Cloud Orchestration
<configuring-kubernetes-update-orchestration>`.
- There are unlocked-enabled worker function hosts in the system that
requires firmware update. The *Firmware Update Orchestration Strategy*
creation step will fail if there are no qualified hosts detected.
- Firmware update is a reboot-required operation. Therefore, in systems that
have the |prefix|-openstack application applied with running instances, if
the migrate option is selected there must be spare openstack-compute \
(worker\) capacity to move instances off the openstack-compute \
(worker\) host\(s\) being updated.
.. note::
Administrative controller Swacts should be avoided during firmware
update orchestration.
