Lenovo ThinkSystem servers include a rich portfolio of firmware and driver update tools. Most of these tools include an easy-to-use graphical user interface to perform updates interactively, as well as utilities that provide methods to acquire and apply updates in complex scenarios.
Lenovo has the richest portfolio of firmware and drivers update tools in the industry. These tools provide easy-to-use graphical utilities to perform updates interactively. They also provide a complete set of utilities to meet more complex scenarios to acquire and apply updates. The utilities support:
Lenovo recommends that you update the entire system to the latest UpdateXpress System Pack (UXSP) level before you deploy the server into a production environment. This includes system firmware, all adapter and hard-drive firmware, and the corresponding device drivers in the operating system.
If you install or upgrade hardware components later, make sure that you perform a full system update to ensure that the system can handle the new hardware, and that the newly installed components have the proper firmware and drivers.
Every Lenovo server that is shipped to a customer contains a set of firmware that has been comprehensively tested together to provide optimal performance. Due to a variety of factors, firmware for one or more components may need to be updated. Firmware updates to individual components may be planned or unplanned, e.g. a fix to a problem not identified previously. To ensure continued optimal performance, the firmware updates are integrated and thoroughly re-tested together. The updated firmware and drivers are available on the Lenovo Support web site.
While it is safe to receive a new server, install a certified operating system, and put the server into production, Lenovo recommends that you update the server to the latest firmware and driver pack before putting the server into production.
Lenovo actively works with the major software partners to certify our servers for their software, and vice-versa. We also provide our device drivers to be included in their official software release, such as Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi. However, device drivers that are shipped in the official OS release might be out of date or might not support the complete set of features and functions advertised by Lenovo. Therefore, the drivers need to be refreshed at the same time as the firmware.
UpdateXpress System Pack (UXSP) is a bundle of firmware and device drivers that are validated together as a whole for compatibility and stability across all of the supported system models, and that are released on a predefined schedule (typically, 3 times a year).
Other tools can be used to update firmware, but they are not in the scope of this guide. For example, users can always update device drivers through the operating system. Windows Server and VMware have their own way to update drivers individually and on a large scale.
BoMC doesn't update drivers: The image created by BoMC does not update the device drivers for the operating system. You will need use the methods provided by the operating system to update the device drivers, as needed.
This tool runs in Windows Command Prompt as Administrator, or in Linux terminal as root. It acquires the UXSP packages online, and then updates the firmware and device drivers. It also implements an update sequence to minimize reboots; the server is rebooted one time after all updates have been applied.
I was having a conversation with a coworker about how I've been trying out Ubuntu on a Lenovo Yoga 700 I picked up for cheap. I'm primarily a Mac user, so it's been rather difficult for me to get used to the trackpad. He recommended I look into upgrading my driver to see if I could find an experience more akin to a Mac. I've done a bit of research to figure out how I would even go about doing that, but have been coming up short. Does anyone know if that is a possibility?
Hope someone had the same problem before. My laptop comes with two video "cards". Intel MHD4500 and ATI Radeon HD3650 (mobility). I can switch between them with the "Lenovo Battery Manager" from the taskbar. All good, but Lenovo provides the driver for this. The problem with that driver is they are a bit old. (Both Intel and ATI). For example I doubt I have any gpu accel in flash, and I experience some problem with dual display setup, which the new ATI driver would solve.
Basically I want to create a new driver (I read a topic where a guy said its possible... baaack then when I was searching for something else). One needs a special ATI driver creation utility or what... sorry I can't recall the name of it.
