Updating Firmware for Individual Motherboard Tray Components#

This section provides instructions for updating the firmware of individual components on the motherboard tray.

Updating the BMC#

Create a update_bmc.json file with the following contents:

{
    "Targets" :["/redfish/v1/UpdateService/FirmwareInventory/HostBMC_0"]
}

Update the firmware:

nvfwupd -t ip=<bmc-ip-address> user=<bmc-username> password=<bmc-password> update_fw \
  -p <mb-tray-package> -y -s update_bmc.json

Example Output

FW recipe: ['nvfw_DGX_251121.1.0.fwpkg']
{"@odata.type": "#UpdateService.v1_6_0.UpdateService", "Messages": [{"@odata.type": "#Message.v1_0_8.Message", "Message": "A new task /redfish/v1/TaskService/Tasks/2 was created.", "MessageArgs": ["/redfish/v1/TaskService/Tasks/2"], "MessageId": "Task.1.0.New", "Resolution": "None", "Severity": "OK"}, {"@odata.type": "#Message.v1_0_8.Message", "Message": "The action UpdateService.MultipartPush was submitted to do firmware update.", "MessageArgs": ["UpdateService.MultipartPush"], "MessageId": "UpdateService.1.0.StartFirmwareUpdate", "Resolution": "None", "Severity": "OK"}]}

Refer to 'DGX B300 Firmware Update Document' on activation steps for new firmware to take effect.

Reset the BMC so the BMC boots the new firmware:

$ ipmitool mc reset cold

# Wait a couple of minutes and confirm the BMC is back online.
$ ipmitool mc info

Reboot the system.

Updating the BIOS#

Create a updparameters.json file with the following contents:

{
    "Targets" :["/redfish/v1/UpdateService/FirmwareInventory/HostBIOS_0"]
}

Update the firmware:

nvfwupd -t ip=<bmc-ip-address> user=admin password=admin update_fw \
  -p nvfw_DGX_251121.1.0.fwpkg -y -s updparameters.json
