Ensure BMC FW release 2.06 or later is pre-installed before attempting this FRU/SDR update. 2. Copy all of the files and directories in the S9200WK_FRUSDR_0.22.zip archive to a USB key, hard disk drive or floppy drive. 3. Execute the following script to bring up the main FRU/SDR load menu: updS9200WK.nsh 4. Select Option 1 to do the SDR update. 5. Answer the prompts, and the SDRs will be loaded ============================================================================= KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS ============================================================================= BMC behavior might be inconsistent up to 2 minutes after loading the firmware update. Initially, the BMCs were manufactured with an older style, SHA1 private key. This release causes the BMC to update its keys at first power on, and correct some known issues. This process takes about 2 minutes the first time it is run, and will lead to inconsistent behavior immediately following a firmware update. Waiting for 2 minutes will allow the BMC procedure to complete successfully. Once this is successful, you will not see this issue again. Intel(R) Server Platform S9200WK power on boards came with no FRU programmed, which causes fru loading to fail. You must load an intial FRU manually before the FRUSDR package can successfully load a fru. This is done with the /fru flag on frusdr.efi ============================================================================= ISSUES fixed in BIOS ============================================================================= User configuration page is hidden after setting BMC KCS to Restricted Mode Single reboot to update BIOS, FD, ME & BMC: Current design requries 3 reboots to update FD, BIOS and ME. Unacceptable customer experience. Need to reduce to one boot only. Restrict Update Nvram support for DC requirement OOB update caused system be in reboot loop under restricted/Deny all mode All BIOS knobs impacted by KCS will show up when load BIOS default via pressing F9 under Restricted/Deny All Mode Sensor failure-LBG Temp – Asserted during OOB ME FW update from EWS. There is unsupported BIOS Variable Value “Serial Port B” for Console Redirection on Server Management of EWS. There are 7 PSIRT BIOS security issues reported on R15 code base BIOS / ME / FD image still can be updated via OOB feature when the mismatch type is selected ME Update system reset when using OFU build 14.1 Build 21 with WW18 BKC - same on WFP DIMM Thrm Mrgn 5,6,7,8 sensors showing "no reading" state. ============================================================================= ISSUES fixed in BMC ============================================================================= EWS: It can not send the SNMP alert packages to destination IP Unable to change property "BootSourceOverrideEnabled" from "Continuous" to "Disabled" Username or password length is abnormal when create or modify. BMC Session ID hijacking flaw The latest BMC has no event log on EWS Username or password length is abnormal when create or modify Cannot change BMC KCS mode in BMC force-update mode. ============================================================================= Features added ============================================================================= Add additional eventing to Redfish support Support virtual media Complex BMC Password Customer required i2c write access for management of their proprietary or 3rd party PCIe hardware Add KCS ctrl mode sensor ============================================================================= REFERENCE MATERIAL ============================================================================= Common IBMC Firmware EAS Common Platform IBMC FW EPS [END OF RELEASE NOTES]
