One-boot Flash Update Utility (OFU) The One-Boot Flash Update (OFU) utility is an OS-present command-line utility that uses configuration (CFG) files to allow users to update • System BIOS • Server management firmware of the baseboard management controller (BMC) • Hot-swap controller (HSC) firmware • Intel® Local Control Panel firmware • Field replaceable units (FRU). Existing FRU data can also be modified. • Sensor data records (SDR) IFLASH32 BIOS Load Utility Use the BIOS Update utility to upgrade the system BIOS. For information about the rolling BIOS feature, see "Rolling BIOS" on page 45. FRUSDR Load Utility The FRUSDR Load utility updates and modifies the server management subsystem's product level field replacement unit data and sensor data record repository, and displays the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) non-volatile storage components. The FRU is initially factory-programmed and can be updated later by using the FRUSDR utility to update specific FRU areas and fields. You cannot change the size of any FRU area from the size defined in the original FRU Header. Run the FRUSDR Load utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server; excluding add-in cards, hard drives, fans, and RAM. The FRUSDR Load utility programs the sensors that the server management software monitors. With the FRUSDR Load Utility, you can: • Discover the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file. • Display the FRU information. • Update the non-volatile storage device associated with the baseboard management controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU information. • Generically handle FRU devices that might not be associated with the BMC. • Supply command lines and interactive input through the standard input device. • View and direct results to the standard output device.
