From a command-line prompt, change to the disk drive that contains the UpdateXpress for BladeCenter utilities. 5. Type the following command to run the ChassisUpdate utility: chassisupdate.py -r file where, file is the fully qualified file name of the response file that you want to use. The ChassisUpdate utility reads the parameter from the response file and updates the applicable systems. BladeScanner and ChassisUpdate record the transactions that they perform in a single log file. The log file is created in the following directories: Table 8. BladeScanner and ChassisUpdate log file locations Windows Linux %TEMP%\uxbc.log $HOME/uxbc.log where %TEMP% is the temporary directory for the Windows operating system. Information is appended to the uxbc.log file each time you run BladeScanner or ChassisUpdate. As a best practice, you should periodically delete this file. Steps to update firmware without an OS The use of UXSPs requires that you have an OS running on the blade. If you do not have an OS on your blade, you can follow these steps to upgrade your firmware. Steps to update blade BMC firmware: 1. Download the boot image (BMC update diskette) of the latest version of the BMC firmware for your system from the Software and device drivers - IBM BladeCenter Web site (http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/ supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-63017&brandind=5000020). Select your blade type from the list. This action directs you to a page for your blade type. Click Baseboard Management Controller, which takes you to the Baseboard Management Controller section of the page. You can then select from a list of available boot images. The boot image (BMC update diskette) will have a file extension of img. 8 IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager Installation and User's Guide
