| + | ===== BIOS Update ===== | ||
| + | **WARNING:** I had to hand modify/rename the ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg'' files after this BIOS update. udev changed the name from enp11s0f0 to enp8s0f0. I also lost access to the BMC Java KVM so make sure you can get SOL access to the machine/OS. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Supermicro X10 series BIOS can only be updated in a UEFI shell, Windows, or DOS prompt. I roughly followed [[https://siliconmechanics.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201466115-Creating-FreeDOS-bootable-ISO|this guide]] to create a bootable DOS image with the BIOS embedded. Here's a brief rundown. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | # Download and unzip the BIOS zip file somewhere... then: | ||
| + | |||
| + | wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/ISO/FDOEMCD.builder.zip | ||
| + | unzip FDOEMCD.builder.zip | ||
| + | cp -r /path/to/BIOS/ /path/to/FDOEMCD/CDROOT/ | ||
| + | cd /path/to/FDOEMCD/CDROOT/BIOS/DOS/ | ||
| + | mv AFUDOSU.SMC AFUDOS.EXE | ||
| + | mv CHOICE.SMC CHOICE.EXE | ||
| + | mv FDT.smc FDT.EXE | ||
| + | cd /path/to/FDOEMCD | ||
| + | mkisofs -o irvingibiosupdate.iso -p "Silicon Mechanics Support" -publisher "www.siliconmechanics.com" -V "SiMech OEM CD" -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -N -J -r -c boot.catalog -hide boot.catalog -hide-joliet boot.catalog CDROOT | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | I then copied irvingibiosupdate.iso to cobbler.front.sepia.ceph.com:/samba/anonymous and mounted it via the irvingi BMC Web UI and booted to it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Share Host:** ''172.21.0.11'' | ||
| + | * **Path:** ''\Anonymous\irvingibiosupdate.iso'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Run ''cd X10DDW46\DOS'', ''flash.bat $FW_BIN_FILE''. The system will check if a firmware update is needed and put the system board in [Flash Mode] if needed. The system will reboot. Boot back into FreeDOS and run the flash.bat script again. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Basically, read the README and follow prompts. | ||
