15 IPMC Firmware Upgrade
Procedure
This chapter provides the instruction for upgrading the IPMC (Intelligent Platform
Management controller) firmware
.
If the ATCA-S201 requires new firmware, an upgrade can
be performed remotely using a LAN connection to the self manager.
15.1 The ipmitool utility
Firmware upgrades are accomplished with ipmitool, a utility for managing IPMI-
enabled devices. The utility is an open source derivative which is modified by the
shelf management supplier.
shelf management supplier.
The ATCA-S201 keeps a redundant copy of the firmware in the FLASH. Upgrades are
reliable and reversible. A failure in the download (error or interruption) does not
disturb the IPMC's ability to continue using the "old" firmware or its ability to restart
disturb the IPMC's ability to continue using the "old" firmware or its ability to restart
the download process. The IPMC automatically fails back to the previous firmware if
there is a problem when first running new code.
SYNOPSIS
The minimum information to complete a firmware upgrade is documented here.
