Updating the NVMe Firmware
The following instructions describe how to update the firmware on an NVMe device using the NVME-CLI
command-line interface. The nvme-cli tool is preinstalled on all DGX H100 systems.
List the devices and check the firmware versions.
$ sudo nvme list Node SN Model Namespace Usage Format FW Rev -------------- ---------------- ---------------------------- --------- ------------------------- ---------------- -------- /dev/nvme0n1 S666NE0T395778 SAMSUNG MZ1L21T9HCLS-00A07 1 1.18 TB / 1.92 TB 512 B + 0 B GDC7302Q /dev/nvme1n1 S666NE0T395802 SAMSUNG MZ1L21T9HCLS-00A07 1 1.18 TB / 1.92 TB 512 B + 0 B GDC7302Q /dev/nvme2n1 22L0A031T2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 27.04 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme3n1 22W0A02AT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 27.57 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme4n1 22W0A02HT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 26.19 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme5n1 22L0A01WT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 25.44 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme6n1 22L0A025T2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 24.91 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme7n1 22L0A02CT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 25.17 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme8n1 22L0A01FT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 24.65 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107 /dev/nvme9n1 22L0A01YT2N8 KCM6DRUL3T84 1 24.37 GB / 3.84 TB 512 B + 0 B 0107
From the output, you can find the device names and firmware versions, such as
/dev/nvme0n1andGDC7302Q.Download the firmware you want to upgrade for the NVMe device.
$ nvme fw-download $DeviceName --fw=***(specify the firmware file for upgrade)
Commit and activate the downloaded firmware immediately without reset by setting the
actionargument to3.$ nvme fw-commit $DeviceName --action=3
Verify that the correct firmware version is updated.
$ nvme id-ctrl $DeviceName
