Overview

There are 2 types of FRUs (EEPROMs) we are going to update:

  • Node FRU
    • X04 has 1 node FRU between all 4 nodes. One image for that one FRU.
    • Dual node uplink has a node FRU for each node. Each node FRU has a different image
  • Slot FRU
    • One FRU per SystemBoard slot. Can only be programmed when a card is plugged into it – can use any node on that card but I have only tested with the first node on each card.
    • NOTE – there is a different image for EVERY slot!

Prerequisites

Hardware

  • At least one TerraNova uplink card is required
  • At least three X04 EnergyCards are required

Firmware

  • All SOCs need to be running firmware package 2.2.10 or higher

Error Message

  • Expect to see 'Unknown FRU header' - This is because we are piggybacking on the existing fru file transfer mechanism to transfer the EEPROM images. Ipmitool expects the data to be in the ipmi fru format, and complains when it is not, but continues the transfer anyway.

Update Process

Update FW

  • Refer to the firmware update guidelines on this wiki but the basic command is:
Jon@ubuntu1204-cobbler:~$ cxmanage -a fwupdate package ECX-1000_update-production-v2.2.10.tar.gz nova0-ipmi
  • Power cycle the system and repeat above command to ensure both primary and backup FW images have been programmed.

Update X04 Card FRU

  • Identify SOC0 for every X04 EnergyCard.
Jon@ubuntu1204-cobbler:~$ cxmanage ipinfo nova0-ipmi
