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 EDR InfiniBand Adapter Product Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/dual_port_edr_infiniband/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)
   

2. Determine the type of adapter.

   # lspci -v -d  :2088| grep -i subsystem
           Subsystem: Oracle/SUN Device 6279
           Subsystem: Oracle/SUN Device 6279
   

3. Select and download the firmware update tool and latest firmware 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 EDR InfiniBand Adapter Product Notes. This document is available at http://www.oracle.com/goto/dual_port_edr_infiniband/docs.

4. Install the firmware.

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

   where pflash is the name of the firmware update tool.

   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 dev-id q [uery]
