You can manage the system firmware elements as HPM.1 components. You can determine the
revision of the HPM.1 firmware components using the tool called
ipmitool . You can download
it from http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net .
You need to install this tool on a remote machine (for example, on a PC). You need to have a
network connection from the remote machine to the BMC.
You can run the following command to determine the revisions:
./ipmitool –I lan –H 192.168.201.9 –U admin –P admin hpm check
A.1.2 Upgrade Procedure
This section describes the step-by-step procedure to upgrade firmware images on a MaxCore
MC3000 prototype.
Procedure
To upgrade the firmware elements, perform the following steps:
1. Upgrade the BMC Firmware
The BMC firmware should always be the first element to be upgraded. You can skip
this step, if the BMC firmware already has the latest version.
There are different versions of ipmitool available, each using different command sets to
the BMC. MaxCore has been tested with ipmitool version v.1.8.14 and it is strongly
recommended to use this version of ipmitool in order to avoid errors when
communicating with the BMC.
