****UPDATE July 2021
The HUU images launched with our C-Series M6 Rack Servers are now compatible with the following USB creator toolsets:
*Keep in mind that is for M6 only and SW release 4.2(1) or later.
A new version of the script is posted below (v3). This version adds additional support for UEFI boot on UCS Rack Servers.
About the Cisco Standalone C-Series Host Update Utility USB Image Utility:
This utility is designed to assist users who want to update firmware on their standalone C-Series server from a USB drive. Specific, this utility will write the HUU ISO image to a bootable USB stick. This USB stick can be used to update firmware on a standalone C-Series server either by changing the boot order or manually selecting the USB device in the <F6> boot menu.
Requirements:
- HUU USB Image Utility
- Linux Server (Tested with RHEL 6.4 and CENTOS 6.4)
- The following package must be installed: syslinux-4.02-8.el6.x86_64 (or later)
- Standalone C-Series HUU Image (to be written)
Note: You may need to unmount the drive to properly execute the script. (umount <dev>)
Tool usage:
sh create_util_usb_v2.sh <UCSB Device> <file.iso>
OR
sh create_util_usb_v2.sh /dev/sdb ucs-c240-huu-2.0.3.16.iso
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected Output: (Note: This is expected output form the tool)
# ./create_util_usb_v2.sh /dev/sdb ucs-c240-huu-2.0.3d-1.iso
syslinux-nonlinux-4.04-3.el6.noarch
