Action

1. As a workaround, if using Linux on an HPE Superdome Flex Server with server firmware 3.0.512, do not update the

OS while running with Secure Boot enabled.

• To check if Secure Boot is enabled, at the RMC CLI enter the following command.

RMC CLI> 

show npar verbose

• To enable or disable Secure Boot, power off the nPartition and then at the RMC CLI enter the following command.

RMC CLI> 

modify npar pnum=x secure_boot=[on|off]

Additional details on Secure Boot can be found in the HPE Superdome Flex Server OS Installation Guide at:
