Load Firmware on to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect Repository

  1. On the Windows server, find the previously extracted firmware files in the receiving directory.

    Note -  The option ROM files are located in the \opt\xsigo\hca-firmware\optionrom subdirectory of the receiving directory.
  2. Consider your next step.
    • If you are upgrading both HCA firmware and option ROM, go to Step 3.
    • If you are upgrading only the HCA firmware, go to Step 8.
    • If you are upgrading the option ROM, go to Step 3.
  3. In the optionrom directory, find the two .bin files for your HCA.

    The file names have the format XgBoot-mtdevice-ID.bin and XgBoot-mtdevice-ID-DEBUG.bin.

    Use the device ID that you recorded in Verify the HCA Firmware Version to identify your option ROM files.

  4. Move the option ROM .bin files to a temporary directory on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
  5. On the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, load the option ROM files into the repository.
    system install hca-optionrom scp://tmp/XgBoot-mtdevice-ID.bin
    system install hca-optionrom scp://tmp/XgBoot-mtdevice-ID-DEBUG.bin

    where device-ID is the device ID recorded in Verify the HCA Firmware Version.

  6. Verify that the option ROM has been loaded.
    show system hca-optionrom

    In the list displayed, find both option ROM files.

  7. Consider your next step.
  8. In the receiving directory of the Windows server, move the HCA firmware .bin file to a temporary directory on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
  9. On the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, load the HCA firmware file into the repository.
    system install hca-image scp://tmp/firmware-filename.bin 

    where firmware-filename is the file name of the HCA firmware file.

  10. Verify that the firmware has been loaded.
    show system hca-firmware

    In the list displayed, find the firmware.
