Update Utility Version: U162 MS-9549 HW Version: 1.1 MS-9166 HW Version: B ------------------------------------------------------------ Modification ------------------------------------------------------------ - Firmware P4 1.00 is based on DE Firmware M2 1.13 - Add 3 bytes(13th ,14th and 15th) at end of Response Data of "Get Device ID Command" to indicate this Firmware is for P4. 13th byte is 50h(ASCII Code: P) , 14th byte is 34h(ASCII Code: 4) and 15th byte is 45h(ASCII Code: E). 3.0 Installing and Setup Instructions 3.1 Step by step instructions for this code update - Run the "IBM eserver 326m Linux BMC Update" with the following command line: "./.sh -s" where .sh is the downloaded update. NOTE: The following message is shown on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and other distributions that do not install the compatibility libstdc++ library. ./lflash: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If the above message is shown, install the compat-libstdc++*.rpm that was included on the distribution media. NOTE: The MSI BMC device driver and IBM IPMI mapping layer are required to run ./.sh -s. 3.2 Step by step instructions for extracting the Linux update files. - Run the "IBM eserver 326m Linux BMC Update" with the following command line: "./.sh -x " where .sh is the downloaded update and is the path to which the Linux update files will be extracted. NOTE: The following message is shown on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and other distributions that do not install the compatibility libstdc++ library. ./lflash: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If the above message is shown, install the compat-libstdc++*.rpm that was included on the distribution media. - The files extracted are all the files that are necessary to perform a BMC update under Linux. Run "./lflash -c" from a command line to update BMC on 32-bit Linux or "./lflash64 -c" from a command line to update BMC on 64-bit Linux. 3.3 Step by step instructions for extracting the DOS update files to diskette. - Run the "IBM eserver 326m Linux BMC Update" with the following command line: "./.sh -xd " where .sh is the downloaded update and is the path to which the Linux update files will be extracted. If is omitted, /dev/fd0 is assumed. NOTE: The following message is shown on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and other distributions that do not install the compatibility libstdc++ library. ./lflash: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If the above message is shown, install the compat-libstdc++*.rpm that was included on the distribution media. - The diskette created is the DOS BMC update diskette. 4.0 Configuration Information 5.0 Unattended Mode 5.1 Performing the update in unattended mode - Run the "IBM eserver 326m Linux BMC Update" with the following command line: "./.sh -s" where .sh is the downloaded update. NOTE: The following message is shown on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and other distributions that do not install the compatibility libstdc++ library. ./lflash: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If the above message is shown, install the compat-libstdc++*.rpm that was included on the distribution media. NOTE: The MSI BMC device driver and IBM IPMI mapping layer are required to run ./.sh -s. 5.2 Extracting the Linux update files in unattended mode - Run the "IBM eserver 326m Linux BMC Update" with the following command line: "./.sh -x " where .sh is the downloaded update and is the path to which the Linux update files will be extracted. NOTE: The following message is shown on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and other distributions that do not install the compatibility libstdc++ library. ./lflash: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If the above message is shown, install the compat-libstdc++*.rpm that was included on the distribution media. - The files extracted are all the files that are necessary to perform a BMC update under Linux. Run "./lflash -c" from a command line to update BMC on 32-bit Linux and "./lflash64 -c" from a command line to update BMC on 64-bit Linux. 6.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number 6.1 IBM Support Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support 6.2 IBM eserver xSeries Web Site: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries 6.3 If you have any questions about this update, or problems applying the update, go to the following Help Center World Telephone Numbers and URL: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/YAST-3P2QYL.html 7.0 Trademarks and Notices THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
