To update BMC firmware
Perform the following steps to ensure that your system contains the files necessary for
updating the BMC firmware and to update the firmware.
1. Copy the BMC firmware file for your system, as specified in
to the following folder:
%ProgramFiles%\Stratus\Firmware\BMC\Aria
2. In ftSMC, expand ftServer Drivers, right-click NEC Solutions (America), Inc.
IPMI Driver - sraipmi, and select Update Firmware.
3. Enter the path name and file name of the firmware file and click Finish to
automatically update the primary and secondary BMCs.
The following message appears, indicating that the system is starting to update the
firmware:
The operation completed successfully.
Click OK in the message box.
It takes approximately five minutes to update each BMC.
! C A U T I O N
Do not perform any failovers or remove power from the
system while the BMC firmware is being updated. If you
do, the system may not recognize the BMC devices.
4. To verify that the firmware has been updated for each BMC, search for two system
event log entries, number 4233, one for each BMC, that indicate that the firmware
burn succeeded. You can also verify that ftSMC displays the new firmware version
for the BMC-120 nodes.
N O T E
If the BMC firmware update is unsuccessful, you can
perform this procedure again as long as you do not
remove the CPU- I ⁄ O enclosure from the system. If you
have removed the enclosure, you cannot update the BMC
firmware yourself. Contact the NEC Technical Support for
assistance.
