Upgrade Cisco UCS C210 M2 Firmware

There are a couple of different steps to complete this process.  This quick post will focus on the utilization of the Host Upgrade Utility (HUU) provided by Cisco.

The Host Upgrade Utilty (HUU) is a collection of firmwares and drivers for a server. We will walk through the updating of applicable devices for a UCS C210 M2.

First, we will want to download the latest HUU package from Cisco.  A valid CCO is required.
