Install the Upgrade Package

Use the bnxtnvm utility to install the NVM upgrade package file.

1. Log in to your server.
2. Determine the version and description of the package file that is currently installed.

   For example:

   $ bnxtnvm pkgver filename.pkg -v
   Package File: filename.pkg
   Package version: 1.0.0

3. Change to the NVRAM_Images directory.
4. Determine how you want to install the package.
   1. Install a package file.

      $ bnxtnvm install filename.pkg

      Replace the filename with the package name.

   2. Install multiple packages for multiple controller types.

      $ bnxtnvm install *.pkg

      This command installs multiple packages for multiple controller types by using a wildcard in the filename argument. The correct packages are automatically installed into the supported controller devices based on PCI Device-IDs.

   3. Install a package that is newer than the one you have.

      $ bnxtnvm upgrade *.pkg

      This command checks the discovered and supported devices.

   For more information on the packages, refer to the readme.txt file in the bnxtnvm directory of the firmware package.

5. Verify the upgrade.

   See Verify the Upgrade.
