Update the Firmware (Oracle Linux)

To use this adapter with Oracle Linux, the minimum firmware version must be used. Refer to the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M4 Product Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/dual_port_qdr_infiniband_m4/docs.

1. Display the device-path of the IB adapter, using device ID 2088.

   # lspci | grep 2088
   90:00.0 Infiniband controller: Oracle/SUN Device 2088 (rev 03)
   

   The above device-path is 90:00.0.

2. Determine the type of adapter.

   # lspci -v -d  :2088| grep -i subsystem
           Subsystem: Oracle/SUN Device 6278
           Subsystem: Oracle/SUN Device 6278
   

   where pflash is the name of the firmware update tool.

3. Select and download the firmware update tool from My Oracle Support at:

   https://support.oracle.com/.

   For the latest list of supported platforms and operating systems, and the latest software and firmware versions, refer to the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M4 Product Notes. This document is available at http://www.oracle.com/goto/dual_port_qdr_infiniband_m4/docs.

4. Install the firmware.

   # pflash -d device-path -i firmware-image-file b[urn]
   

   where device-path is the path to flash device (in [domain:]<bus>:<slot>.<func> format ) obtained in Step 1.

   For example, type:

   # pflash -d 90:00.0 -i /lib/firmware/titan-psif-epsc-0.053.bin burn
   Flash burn start
   .......................................................................
   Flash burn end
   

5. Reboot the server.
6. Check if the IB adapter is up with the firmware version used.

   # pflash -d device-path q [uery]
