DGX A100 System Firmware Changes
DGX A100 BMC Changes
Changes in 00.16.09
- Fixed incorrect temperatures reported for sensors on the NVIDIA Networking ConnectX-6 single-port and dual-port VPI cards.
-
Fixed a bug to ensure that the BMC will boot to the latest version updated on the system.
-
Fixed SEL log not showing the correct BMC or SBIOS version after an update.
-
Added ability to set the BMC to local time instead of default UTC.
-
Added ability to sync local time to NTP servers. (enable NTP time sync).
-
Removed unnecessary SEL log messages pointing to high CPU power consumption.
-
Fixed "/" character not allowed in BMC web UI LDAP Role Group settings.
-
Added authentication capabilities to the RESTful API.
-
Added new capabilities to identify firmware updates in the System Event Log (SEL) via "NVIDIA-firmware" event.
Adds SEL information for BMC (end), BIOS, CPLD, and PSU.
Changes in 00.14.16
- Fixed an issue where a cold boot might put the BMC in a non-bootable state.
- Fixed BMC update failing with "Error flashing Inactive image 2: rc = 0x-9" ,
- Fixed occasionally neededing to log into the BMC WebUI twice.
- Fixed the BMC dashboard system event filter not working.
- Added ability to monitor Mellanox card transceiver temperatures and increase fan speeds.
- Fixed inability to update the BMC after unexpected interruption.
- Fixed missing memory, NIC and storage drive information.
Changes in 00.13.16
- The BMC update includes software security enhancements.
See the NVIDIA Security Bulletin 5010 for details.
