ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES: 1) This tool does not fail anymore when upgrading UMP for NC326i. 2) Displays informational messages when discovering NIC FW versions installed on the system. Table of Contents ================= Introduction Packaging Performing the Firmware Upgrade Firmware Upgrade Log Configure IPMI: Disable/Enable Introduction ============ This file describes the firmware upgrade of the HP Gigabit Server Adapters mentioned in the PRODUCTS AFFECTED section of this document. User guides and additional HP Network Adapter information can be found at: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html Packaging ========= The firmware upgrade utility is released in scexe format. The file is a single self-extracting executable that unpacks the component, runs it, and cleans up the component. This one-step process replaces the rpm format which would require three steps to install, execute, and remove. Performing the Firmware Upgrade =============================== 1. The utility requires the adapter interface to be up. You can bring up a network adapter interface by using the following command: # ifup ethx or # ifconfig ethx up 2. The firmware can be upgraded interactively using the following command: #./CP00xxxx.scexe 3. Before the upgrade is attempted, a copy of the firmware image is saved. If the firmware upgrade fails due to an unrecoverable error, you can restore your original firmware interactively using the following command: #./CP00xxxx.scexe -p Note: Restoring an image is currently supported on non-multifunction NICs. 4. Check the help meun for more information regarding command line options. #./CP00xxxx.scexe -h Firmware Upgrade Log ==================== The results to the firmware upgrade are in the nicfwupg.log which will be written to the current working directory. Configure IPMI: Disable/Enable ============================== 1. The utility requires the adapter interface to be up. You can bring up a network adapter interface by using the following command: # ifup ethx or # ifconfig ethx up 2. Verify the configuration status of the network adapter by sending the following command: # ./CP00xxxx.scexe -c 3. Configure IPMI by sending the following command: # ./CP00xxxx.scexe [ interface ] ipmi [ options ] options: 0 - Disable IPMI 1 - Enable IPMI example: The following command disables IPMI # ./CP00xxxx.scexe eth0 ipmi 0 Note: Please refer to the adapter QuickSpecs for information on supported features.
