This does address baseline as I understand them. Dell releases a baseline 2.00.00 for MX7000 platform for example. While using this update feature it seems you have to update all objects ASAP before Dell updates with new firmware. It does not lock to a set baseline to be able to use later to keep all systems chassis' and switches on the same baseline.

Nice presentation. You don't say why you would make a baseline, or how often, or why for a group of devices? Also, where to find Update Logs? I see Audit Log and Alert Log but no Update Log.

Before updating my cluster to VMware Esxi 7.0.483, the "Update Advisor Report" ask for upgrade the firmware for the SSD in the 3 VxRail nodes. My question is if I need to put in maintenance mode the nodes, before essay install a firmware update. Is there any chance to loss of data in the SSD while install a firmware update ?. In the link to update the firmware, the only options are Windows EXE file o Red Hat Linux BIN file, any of these formats are compatible with the files to configure in the catalog ?. Thanks

Is it possible to update fw using DUP files on multiple systems at a time? It looks like you can select multiple systems -> more actions -> update. Is this a firmware update?
