Overview
UEFI/BIOS update
By using the Scout Console, you can perform an update of the UEFI or legacy BIOS of your devices remotely. For UEFI devices, the UEFI Capsule Update procedure is supported.
Download the latest manufacturer-specific UEFI or legacy BIOS firmware data from the relevant platform (such as the LVFS portal) or the manufacturer’s homepage and provide them on your web server.
Updating UEFI devices to a newer UEFI firmware works in analogy to a software update and also supports configurable control by end users (defer and cancel). Administrators configure their devices in the Scout Console accordingly and start the UEFI update with the UEFI update Scout command. The UEFI update on the end points is performed via the standardized Capsule Firmware Update procedure.
Alternatively, for legacy BIOS devices, you have the option of performing a BIOS update via the respective tool of the corresponding manufacturer. As an administrator, you start the legacy BIOS update via a user-defined Scout command with the parameters relevant for the respective manufacturer tool. The legacy BIOS update on the end device is performed via the respective manufacturer tool. The required manufacturer tools are provided through the companies Fujitsu, HP and Dell. These tools are integrated by Unicon into an eLux software package and made available on our myelux.com portal.
The devices can be equipped with different hardware.
UEFI/BIOS update for devices with encrypted system partition
Updating the UEFI or BIOS of devices with an encrypted system partition can be done via the described procedures without any problems. The only exception is Fujitsu FUTRO devices, regardless of whether they are UEFI devices or legacy BIOS devices. Any attempt to update the UEFI or BIOS of these devices, if encrypted, is therefore prevented by eLux and documented in the log file.
UEFI/BIOS configuration
In addition to a UEFI/BIOS update, some devices allow for configuring their BIOS remotely and, for example, setting a new BIOS password. This option depends on the hardware model.
Reference BIOS
Some devices (Fujitsu, Dell/Wyse, HP) allow for copying and transfer of a reference BIOS to other devices of the same type. Via a reference BIOS, new manufacturer firmware and/or a reference configuration can be transferred to other devices.
