It will not affect any device drivers. 1.1 Dependencies: - none 2.0 Change history ------------------- Integrated System Management Version 1.00 - Build ID BQ8T24A - Original Release 3.0 Installation and Setup Instructions ---------------------------------------- To install the BladeCenter Integrated System Management Processor firmware from the BladeCenter Management Module web interface, perform the following steps: a). Open a Web browser. In the address or URL field, type the IP address or host name of the Management Module to which you want to connect. The Enter Network Password window opens. Note: The Management Module defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP host is unavailable, the Management Module assigns a static IP address of 192.168.70.125. b). Type your user name and password in the Enter Network Password window. If you are using the IBM Management Module for the first time, you can obtain your user name and password from your system administrator. All login attempts are documented in the event log. A welcome page opens in your browser. Note: The Management Module is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (with a zero, not an O). This user has read/write access. Change this default password during your initial configuration for enhanced security. c). Select a timeout value, in minutes, in the field provided. If your browser is inactive for that number of minutes, the Management Module logs you off the Web interface. d). Click Continue to start the session. The browser opens the System Health page, which gives you a quick view of the system status. e). In the navigation frame, click Firmware Update under Blade Tasks, select the Target blade slot number, then click Browse. f). Switch to the drive and directory containing the unpackaged files. Navigate to the PKT file you want to update, named as: BQ8Tbbr.PKT Where bb = build ID, and r = revision. g). Click Open. The file (including the full path) appears in the box beside Browse. h). To begin the update process, click Update. A progress indicator opens as the file is transferred to temporary storage. A confirmation page opens when the file transfer is completed and the BladeCenter Integrated System Management Processor has been restarted. Note: To cancel this process at any point, click Cancel. 4.0 Configuration Information ------------------------------ 4.1 Level of Recommendations and Prerequisites for proper blade operation: - Open Firmware version vbFW0413000, or later. - Broadcom NIC boot code version 3.20, or later. - Broadcom ASF code version 2.21, or later. - Management Module version 1.12, or later. - Ethernet Switch: - Nortel, version 20.1.1.0, or later. - DLink, version 1.06, or later. 5.0 Unattended Mode -------------------- This update utility does not support unattended installations but there are other ways to incorporate unattended installations of this code.
