HP ProLiant SL2x170z G6 Server - Manual (Page 15)

The load command can download and flash a firmware image file using TFTP from the specified
location.
To flash the firmware using TFTP settings:
•
On a Windows operating system:
Copy the BMC firmware into a directory on the server. 1.
2.
Run TFTP by launching the executable file tftpd32.exe.
3. Navigate to TFTP configuration>Settings, and set Timeout to 4 seconds and Max Retransmit
to 10.
4. Enter the Base Directory and TFTP Server IP Address. Base Directory is the path where
the BMC firmware is residing. TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the TFTP server
(for example, 10.141.38.157).
•
On a Linux operating system:
Navigate to Applications>Systems Settings>Server Settings>Services and make sure that
TFTP and xinetd are running. 1.
2. Open the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and modify the parameter server_args to
include -T 4000000. For example,server_args = -c -s /tftpboot -T 4000000
While in this directory, to modify server parameters, type gedit.
3. Reset xinetd to allow it update. Open a terminal and type service xinetd restart. On
non-RHEL Linux platforms, open the Services menu and reset xinetd manually.
4. If a firewall is enabled, disable it or modify the settings to allow the firewall to connect
to the TFTP port. To change the firewall settings, navigate to Applications>System
Settings>Security Level, and enter 69:udp in the parameter of the other port.
5. Place the image file in the /tftpboot folder, which is in the TFTP servers root directory.
To update the firmware, log in to LO100 as the administrator through the CLP interface, and issue
the load command to upload and install the firmware from the map1/firmware directory.
1. Start a CLP session. To access CLP:
a.
Navigate to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt.
b. At the command prompt, enter telnet <IP address>.
2. At the CLP prompt, enter cd map1/firmware.
3. At the CLP prompt, enter
load -source <URI> -oemhpfiletype csr
where:
•
<URI> is the //<tftpserver IP>/<filename> to be downloaded.
•
<tftp server IP> is the URL or IP address of the TFTP server containing the firmware.
•
<filename> is the file name of the image file (LdrImage.bin in this example).
For example, enter:
load -source //10.141.38.157/LdrImage.bin -oemhpfiletype csr
Alternatively, you can also install the firmware through a browser. For more information, see
“Installing firmware through a web browser” (page 16) .
The TFTP application might report an error in the early part of the firmware upload process,
during the firmware image validation process. An error does not necessarily indicate failure
of the firmware upload and does not prevent successful firmware uploads. A successful firmware
upload typically takes several minutes. After the firmware upgrade process is complete, verify
that the new version of the firmware is active.
