HP机架、刀片服务器更新固件
Linux下更新阵列卡固件的方法：
Installation:
To update firmware from Linux operating system on target server:
Updating firmware with rpm installed:
Install the firmware rpm using the command: rpm -ivh <rpm_filename>. This extracts the contents of the rpm to the ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu’ location
The CP038605.scexe script is located in the ‘scexe-compat’ folder. The actual name of the ‘firmware-smartarray-ea3138d8e8-’ folder is based on the version of the rpm installed in the first step above
To install firmware, you can execute ONE of the following commands:
• ./ CP038605.scexe in the ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/scexe-compat’ location (OR)
• ./setup in the '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firmware-smartarray-ea3138d8e8-’ location
The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the Component.log file, located in the /var/cpq/ directory
To uninstall the rpm, run the command: rpm -e <rpm_package_name>, which is the rpm filename without the ‘.rpm’ extension
Updating firmware without installing the rpm:
Extract the contents of the rpm using the command: rpm2cpio <rpm_filename>.rpm | cpio -id. This extracts the contents of the rpm to ‘usr’ folder in the current directory
Navigate to the ‘usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firmware-smartarray-ea3138d8e8-’ location and run ./setupto update the firmware. The actual name of the 'firmware-smartarray-ea3138d8e8-’ folder is based on the version of the rpm installed in the step above
The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the Component.log file, located in the /var/cpq/ directory
Additional Information:
Installing the firmware rpm package (rpm -ivh) does not update the firmware. It merely extracts the rpm content to the local system. Updating the firmware on the local system requires following the above outlined steps.
