BIOS Component
The ATCA-7490 provides two SPI flashes for storing two redundant BIOS firmware images; one
is called "Active", the other one is "Backup". Due to the fact that the "Active" SPI flash is routed
to the Intel CPU always, the IPMC can perform HPM.1 specific firmware upgrades only to the
"Backup" SPI flash.
The information about which BIOS flash is actually active, is provided using the Boot Bank
Supervision Sensor. For details, see
. Besides HPM.1
manual rollback, there is also a possibility to switch the banks without upgrading an HPM.1
firmware at all. For details, see
Automatic rollback is implemented via failsafe architecture. For details, see
The HPM.1 command,
Activate Firmware
does not reboot the payload firmware
unconditionally. Instead the blade can be rebooted gracefully to activate the firmware.
Crisis recovery is supported fully (two broken SPI flashes can be reprogrammed via IPMI with
the help of the ShMM).
9.2.2
Retrieving Version Information
Retrieving the actual and backup version of the components is possible without switching
payload firmware boot banks. Artesyn strongly recommends to use
fcu tool
provided in
BBS package for embedded firmware upgrades. For more details about this tool, refer to
Basic
Blade Services Software on ATCA-7490 Programmer’s Reference
manual.
The following terminal output illustrates the component versions as an example:
