https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/firmware-mgmt/gui/2-2/b_GUI_Firmware_Management_22/The Auto Install feature in Cisco UCS Manager simplifies the firmware upgrade process by automating the process. During an infrastructure firmware upgrade using Auto Install, the following components are upgraded in the following order:
Cisco IMC (Integrated Management Controller) firmware: The Cisco IMC provides system management capabilities for the Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers. The IMC firmware upgrade ensures that the management functions are up to date.
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) firmware: The BIOS firmware provides the low-level hardware initialization and system boot functions for the blade servers.
I/O (Input/Output) module firmware: The I/O modules provide connectivity to the network and storage infrastructure. The I/O module firmware upgrade ensures that the blade servers can communicate with the external infrastructure.
Adapter firmware: The adapter firmware provides the network interface card (NIC) and host bus adapter (HBA) functionality for the blade servers.
Therefore, the component that is upgraded during the infrastructure firmware upgrade stage in the Auto Install feature is the Cisco IMC firmware.
