Appendix B Updating CPLD firmware online from HDM
The following information describes how to update the CPLD firmware from HDM through an RJ-45 port.
Hardware and software requirements
Hardware: PC with an RJ-45 port.
Software: Browser.
None.
Before uploading the version file for update, first verify that the MD5 checksum is correct.
Screenshots in this section are for illustration only.
Connect the RJ-45 port on the local PC to the HDM network port on the server.
Configure the PC to use an IP address in the same network segment as the HDM IP address, for example: 192.168.1.2.
Log in to the HDM Web interface. This example uses IP address 192.168.1.2. The username and password are admin and Password@_, respectively.
CAUTION: Do not refresh the page during the update. To avoid CPLD or operating system errors, do not power on or power off the server during the firmware update. |
1.Select the firmware type and the firmware image file.
The figure is for illustration only. Make sure a corresponding xxxx.bin file is selected.
The firmware type for CPLD(0502A7AM) is BPCPLD.
Figure 2 Selecting the firmware type and the firmware image file
2.Upload the firmware image file and verify the firmware version.
Figure 3 Uploading the firmware image file and selecting drive backplanes
Wait for the update to be completed.
3.Use one of the following methods to have the new firmware take effect:
Remove the AC power for 30 seconds, and then power on the device again.
Log in to HDM, and access the Remote O&M > Update Firmware page to restart CPLD.
Handling firmware update failures
If a firmware update fails, the system starts up with the original firmware version. To resolve the firmware update failure issue:
1.Verify that the network ports are connected correctly.
2.Verify that the correct firmware file is uploaded.
3.Verify that no power-off operations are performed during the update.
4.Verify that the server is power cycled after the update.
Appendix C Updating CPLD from the OS
This procedure is applicable to scenarios where you can access the OS correctly.
Hardware and software requirements
The system disk with a version lower than RHL9.0.
Make sure the version of the OS lower than RHL9.0.
Before uploading the version file for update, first verify that the MD5 checksum is correct.
Screenshots in this section are for illustration only.
Powering on the server and accessing the OS
Copying the file to the directory for update
Copy the file to the directory, and execute the chmod 777 * and ./XXX commands, where XXX represents the name of the .rpm package. The figure is for illustration only.
CAUTION: Do not execute other commands during the update. To avoid CPLD or operating system errors, do not power on or power off the server during the firmware update. |
1.Waiting for the update to finish.
2.Use one of the following methods to have the new firmware take effect:
Remove the AC power for 30 seconds, and then power on the device again.
Log in to HDM, and access the Remote O&M > Update Firmware page to restart CPLD.
Handling firmware update failures
If a firmware update fails, the system starts up with the original firmware version. To resolve the firmware update failure issue:
1.Verify that OS version is lower than RHL9.0.
2.Verify that the RPM package for update corresponds to the backplane.
