Please note that using DUP to update your BMC firmware would not preserve BMC configuration. All the setting would be restored to default.

Limitation:
In this version, BMC added link status debunce function in share NIC for avoiding NIC link state boucing problem during DC cycle. BMC will skip NIC link status change within 5 seconds, so please do not replug LAN cable within 5 seconds.

Do not roll back to old version after you update to V1.14 already.
If you want to flash to old version, please use socflash.

BMC firmware might have version dependency with chassis firmware. Before update BMC firmware, please check related chassis FAN Controller Board firmware release package first.

KCSflash - use *.dcs for firmware update
NOTE: Since the KCS update utility may refer to some dynamic linked library files, KCSflash directory structure must be maintained to update BMC via KCS channel when it is extracted from the package.

=================================================================
Dos: Execute FBMC.bat in the folder, and utility will show the steps to upgrade BMC F/W.
=================================================================
Linux: Execute FBMC.sh in the folder, and utility will show the steps to upgrade BMC F/W.
=================================================================
Windows: Execute FBMC.bat in the folder, and utility will show the steps to upgrade BMC F/W.

4. Click the Install button.
5. Follow the remaining prompts to perform the update.

This new version changed BMC shared NIC behavior from bonding mode to NCSI mode. That means you can specify the specific NCSI port (NIC1 or NIC2) as BMC shared NIC. Due to this change, if you're updating via KCS (fbmc.sh) instead of running DUP, it would perform "restore LAN setting to default" to enable this new feature. Please check your network setting after firmware update to confirm if there is any setting changed by this.

If you're updating BMC by DUP (without configuration preserved), Shared NIC2 MAC will be restored to default MAC address. It did not affect the normal operation on shared NIC1. However, if you would like to apply NIC2 as BMC shared NIC, you should program the MAC address again manually by IPMI command.

1. #Get reservation ID
ipmitool raw 0x30 0x01

2. #switch to NIC 2
ipmitool raw 0x30 0x03 0x[reservation ID from first step] 0x02 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x02

3. #Enter manufacturing test mode
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x05 0x64 0x52 0x45 0x4d 0x24 0x73 0x74 0x38

4. #Program MAC address for NIC 2 (assuming MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:56)
ipmitool 0x20 0x30 0x01 0x01 0x05 0x00 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x56
(The last 6 bytes are MAC address)

Reboot will be required
