Updating firmware images
10.3 Updating firmware images
Since the iRMC S2/S3 firmware executes in the SRAM memory of the
iRMC S2/S3, it is possible to update both active and inactive firmware images
online, i.e. with the server operating system running.
The following methods are available for updating the firmware images:
over the iRMC S2/S3 web interface
using the ServerView Update Manager
using ServerView Update Manager Express or ASP
Update using the operating system flash tools.
Downgrading the firmware to the previous version
Besides the possibility of performing a firmware update, you can also
downgrade the firmware to the previous version.
The simplest way to downgrade the firmware is to store the previous-version
firmware image as the inactive firmware image in the EEPROM of the
iRMC S2/S3. In this case, you only have to set the firmware selector to this
previous-version image (see page 182) and subsequently restart the
iRMC S2/S3 to activate the firmware.
I You can also downgrade the firmware by applying the methods described
in the following sections. In these cases, you perform a firmware update
based on the firmware of the previous version. Special requirements to
perform the downgrade are pointed out separately in the following
sections.
10.3.1 Update via the iRMC S2/S3 web interface
The iRMC S2/S3 Firmware Update page allows you to update the firmware of the
iRMC S2/S3 by providing the firmware image either locally on the remote
workstation or on a TFTP server (see section "iRMC S2/S3 Firmware Update"
on page 181).
