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 nvfw_DGX_240918.1.0.fwpkg -y -s update_bmc.json
Example Output

Reset the BMC so the BMC boots the new firmware:
# If you have a shell on the system $ sudo ipmitool mc reset cold # If you are logged in to a different system $ ipmitool -H <bmc-ip-address> -I lanplus -U <bmc-username> -P <bmc-password> mc reset cold
Reboot the system.
