ok i understand I had some mistakes in command grammar (.zip and "software install") however that is not the answer to my question. My question is.... can I upgrade the BMC and the BIOS firmware while being connected through BMC port or through SSH?
So this past weekend I performed the BMC/BIOS update per the instructions found at http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/serviceimage/30803002/ ; however there appears to be something missing or wrong in the instructions
I did each step as shown in instructions. The first "version -b" showed
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XIV/firmware.img: BIOS/NABL Firmware 3.0
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XIV/bmc.img: BMC Firmware 1.5
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XVII/firmware.img: BIOS/NABL Firmware 6.1
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XVII/bmc.img: BMC Firmware 1.5
After the upgrade the second "version -b" showed:
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XIV/firmware.img: BIOS/NABL Firmware 3.0
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XIV/bmc.img: BMC Firmware 1.6
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XVII/firmware.img: BIOS/NABL Firmware 6.1
/cfcard/x86_elf/firmware/SB_XVII/bmc.img: BMC Firmware 1.6
According to Step 9 of the instructions:
If the versions identified in Step 8 are... | Then... |
BIOS 6.1 and BMC firmware 1.6 | Your storage controller has the current versions of BIOS and BMC firmware. You do not need to proceed any further. |
Any other version(s) | Go to Step 10. |
It states there is no need to "proceed and further" and even says "storage controller has the current versions of BIOS and BMC firmware".
But when I run "sysconfig -a" it shows the BMC version is still at 1.3
So do I need to move to step 10 anyways?
