The ipmitool is a software, which allows to use ipmi commands via network with the MCH. One possibility is top use the HMP.1 standard in order to upgrade f/w of modules, which support it. The syntax is the following (if MCH Backward compatibility to 2.4 is disabled):
ipmitool -H exflutcaX-mch -P "" -T 0x82 -B 0 -b 7 -t 0xTT hpm upgrade [filename.hpm]
otherwise use:
ipmitool -H exflutcaX-mch -P "" -t 0xTT hpm upgrade [filename.hpm]
| Option |
Meaning |
| -H exflutcaX-mch |
host to be accessed |
| -P "" |
No password |
| -T 0x82 |
Address of carrier. It is 0x80 + carrier number * 2. The usual carrier number programmed in the backplane is 1. Therefore 0x82 is in most cases correct. |
| -B 0 |
I2C Bus number to Ethernet. Is always 0 |
| -b 7 |
I2C number to backplane. Is always 7. |
| -t 0xTT |
TT is the module address to be calculated. It is 0x70 + slot number * 2. Slot number starts with 1. Value is in hex. |
| hpm upgrade |
defines the command for HPM.1 to upgrade the firmware |
| [filename.hpm] |
This is the firmware image file. It has to be generated. For example: there is a tool from SP Devices in C++ or a Java program from Vahan (could be found on doocs.desy.de > Java Applications > Other and external Applications > HPMImage) |
