Special Notes
Note
If updating the BMC from any version earlier than 3.27.30, the update can take from 30 to 50 minutes to complete.
When updates to the BMC or PSU are initiated,
The BMC is (cold) reset to be put in a known good state before the update, then
Additional logs are gathered for troubleshooting purposes and made available in
/var/log/comp_fw_log.txt
.The logs are gathered before updating and upon completion of the update or in the event of an update failure.
To prevent NVSM services from interfering with BMC and PSU updates, the container stops the following services before applying the update:
nvsm-apis-gpumonitor
nvsm-apis-plugin-storage
nvsm-apis-selwatcher
nvsm-apis-plugin-memory
nvsm-apis-plugin-environment
nvsm-sys-dshmnvsm-env-dshm
nvsm-storage-dshm
System health monitor will not be available until firmware update completes.
For the PSU update, the container implements a protective check which requires the system to be fully redundant (all four supplies are installed and in a healthy state) in order for the update to occur.
If you are using only three of the four PSUs, the full power redundancy requirement can be overridden with the Docker run environment (
DGX_MAX_PSU
) as follows.docker run -e DGX_MAX_PSU=3 --privileged -ti -v /:/hostfs <container_name> update_fw
