Linux Upgrade Preparation

To prepare the firmware package for download, do the following:
1. Login to the on board server host. This can be done using a connection to the server IP over BMC Web
GUI or by connecting to the server subsystem management port at the rear of the enclosure.
2. Type the sg_scan -i command to verify that the enclosure has been found by the server.
3. The following upgrade preparation steps apply only if the user is upgrading via OOBM. If this does
not apply, please proceed to the upgrade procedure.
a) IMPORTANT: There is a firmware upgrade requirement which requires both Ethernet interfaces be
connected and obtain IP addresses via DHCP prior to starting the upgrade process. The Ethernet ports
are shown in the following image:

device name from the sg_scan -i output from step 2.
c) Verify that both OOBMs have IP addresses by issuing the command sg_ses SCSIX:X,X,X -p0x7
d) Locate the IP addresses in the Enclosure Services Controller Electronics (ESCE) elements, indicated
by the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX in the results as shown in the following example:
