Run the Unified firmware updater tool from a Linux
server
1. Deploy a Linux OS (CentOS, RedHat, Ubuntu) that connects to the VEP4600 BMC network. Can be a VM based Linux
server.
2. Verify you can reach the BMC ip address with ipmitool:
test_user@ubs18-04:~$ sudo bash
[sudo] password for test_user:
root@ubs18-04:~# ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xx.xx.xxx -U admin -P admin power status
Chassis Power is on
3. Run the UFW from the Linux (CentOS, RedHat, Ubuntu) server with the following command:
./vep4600_ufw_x.x <BMC IP address> interactive
root@ubs18-04:~# cd Downloads/
root@ubs18-04:~/Downloads# ls -l
total 186916
