RShim Over USB

By default, the BMC and BlueField interfaces are configured as follows (static IPs and MACs):

1. Disable RShim on the host. Run the following on the host:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   systemctl stop rshim
   systemctl disable rshim
           

   Note

   If the RShim driver is not installed on the host, this step can be skipped.

2. Enable RShim on the BMC using the Redfish interface:

   Copy

   curl -k -u root:'<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH -d '{
         "BmcRShim": {
           "BmcRShimEnabled": true
         }
   }' https://<bmc_ip>/redfish/v1/Managers/Bluefield_BMC/Oem/Nvidia
           

3. Check the current BmcRShimEnabled value and wait until it changes to true:

   Copy

   Copied!

               
   
               
   curl -k -u root:'<password>' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://<bmc_ip>/redfish/v1/Managers/Bluefield_BMC/Oem/Nvidia
           

   Note

   This may take up to 8 seconds. If the BmcRShimEnabled value does not change, disable BMC RShim by setting the value to false then repeating steps 1-3.
