BMC Firmware Update
The firmware of the BMC on the PCI module can be updated.
The base management controller (BMC) is the processor exclusively used for monitoring the
system's operating environment faults and controlling of the system.
The BMC firmware can be updated by using the BMC firmware update utility.
Both NEC ESMPRO Manager and the Server Maintenance Utility can start the BMC firmware
update utility.
To update the BMC firmware, the firmware image file must be updated on the managed server in
advance. On the BMC firmware update screen, specify the path of the image file of the firmware to
be updated.
The table below shows the potential cases in which the BMC firmware is to be updated.
