Important Information
Please note that updating BMC firmware with Linux DUP (Dell Update Package) will not preserve BMC configuration settings. All settings will be restored to default including network settings. However, it still can preserve BMC configuration with Windows DUP.
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 10 seconds, so please do not replug LAN cable within 10 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 BMCvia 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.
=================================================================
Web Upgrade: Update via web by using *.dcs file under KCSflash/dos folder.
Note that Web upgrade is only for the current BMC is higher than V1.14.
=================================================================
Most usful parameter of DCSFWUD.EXE:
-e=value Specify enitity ID of image.
-f, -force Force reboot system or BMC without prompt user.
-o=value Specify the Install Options. Optional.
0 - Do not preserve config (default). (update BMC with default value)
1 - Preserve config. (update BMC with previous configuration)
-help Search for all parameter
=================================================================
Socflash - use allv***.bin for firmware update

Installation instructions
Download
1. Click 'Download File' to download the file.
2. When the File Download window appears, click Save to save the file to your hard drive.
Installation
1. Browse to the location where you downloaded the file and double-click the new file.
2. Read over the release information presented in the dialog window.
3. Download and install any prerequisites identified in the dialog window before proceeding.
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
