6.5.3 Payload Reset
In order to activate the new BIOS image a payload reset is required.
The payload reset can be performed through different ways.
If the user is working on the OS via KCS a linux “reboot”,”poweroff” or “halt” will
activate the new BIOS image.
If the user accesses the BMC through other interfaces (LAN/IPMB) a
deactivation and activation cycle is needed, in order to update the FPGA.
6.5.4 Verify successful Upgrade
To verify the update process the hpm check of the IPMItool can be used again.
Now the BIOS Backup Version should be the former active version, and the
active version should be the version of the upload file.
