Integrated Management Module (IMM) Firmware Update
Change History

IMPORTANT: Prerequisite for updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e)
========== Updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) requires the current
IMM firmware version to be 1.10 (yuoo57h), or later. If this prerequisite is not
met before updating to version 1.30 (yuooc7e) the system will not power on
correctly. If the system is not running a minimum of IMM version 1.10 (yuoo57h),
update the IMM before attempting to update to 1.30 (yuooc7e).
This prerequisite was a limitation of IMM version 1.30, and it has been fixed
in IMM version 1.31(yuooc7f). This prerequisite does not apply to IMM version 1.31
or later.

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT apply the firmware update (yuoo91e, v1.24)
========= if you are using AEM functions in x3620M3 or x3630M3. The
v1.24 firmware will disable the power capping functionality in those two
systems. Please remain on the current IMM version or update the firmware
to v1.25 or newer. Users not using AEM functions can still update to v1.24.

IMPORTANT: Read before using the MAX5
========== This Technical Update supplements the documentation that comes
with the IBM MAX5 for System x. Keep this document with your other MAX5
documentation. Before you attach the MAX5 to the server and try to use it,
you must update the server firmware with the latest level of firmware or
code. If you attach and try to use the MAX5 without updating the server
firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might
not power on. For special instructions to follow before you attach the MAX5
to the server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5085756.

IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest
technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access
these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and follow the
instructions.

IMPORTANT: If you are at IMM firmware versions prior to 1.12 (yuoo67c) and
========== updating IMM firmware in Microsoft Windows, when you update IMM to
versions between 1.14 (YUOO73M) and 1.30 (YUOOC7E), it will take up to 10 minutes
additional wait time; when you update IMM to version 1.30 (YUOOC7E) or later, it
will take up to 20 minutes additional wait time. This is due to the iflash tool
checking the IMM before flashing. During this time the flashing process may appear
hung or unresponsive. The flashing will then complete and there is no functional
impact.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM firmware level is 1.14 or later
========== before you update the uEFI, FPGA, or DSA Preboot firmware.
The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM followed by UEFI
followed by FPGA followed by DSA Preboot.

IMPORTANT: A firmware change was made in YUOO57H (v1.10) that enforces the
========= requirement for login accounts on the IMM to have passwords that
contain both alpha and numeric characters. If you are updating the IMM firmware
from YUOO56K (v1.09) or earlier, to YUOO57H (v1.10) or newer, prior to updating
the firmware, please ensure that the IMM user account passwords contain
both alpha and numeric characters. If the firmware is updated and the passwords
do not contain both alpha and numeric characters, you may need to reset the IMM
to its default settings using the menus in the UEFI F1 set up display.

IMPORTANT: When updating the IMM firmware from a version earlier than
========= version 1.05 (build YUOO32F) to version 1.05 or newer, the
Remote Alert Recipient Email Addresses and the Daylight Saving
Time setting will revert to the default setting.
Users that utilize these settings will need to set them again
after the update.

IMPORTANT: When updating IMM, uEFI, pDSA, FPGA via any method,
========== please follow firmware update best practice document
(http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand=
5000020&lndocid=MIGR-5082923) for suggested update sequence and prerequisite.

IMPORTANT: Due to an Intel errata, if your server is running a 32-bit Linux
========== Operating System, C-states may need to be disabled while updating
uEFI, IMM, or DSA Preboot through the Linux command line interface. See
RETAIN TIP H195678 for more information. Updates performed through the AMM,
Bootable Media Creator, or the IMM web or CLI interfaces do not have this
requirement.

IMPORTANT: Updated firmware version numbers might not be visible in SMBIOS
========== tables until after the server is rebooted.

IMPORTANT: After downgrading IMM firmware from version 1.22
========== to an earlier version, the user needs to reset the
IMM to factory default before normal operation.

11. Use the Virtual Machine Manager GUI to attach the VF (step 7 on page 34)
to the guest operating system by using the add physical device option.

<< Note 1: If user wants to re-configure an already configured setup,
it can be done by removing the attached VF from the respective guest
operating system using the remove option after selecting the VF attached.
And then attaching another VF (step 11).

Note 2: Consult the documentation for your host operating system for
help using the Virtual Machine Manager to attach and detach virtual
interfaces. >>

12. Start the RHEL 6.x guest operating system. Once the guest operating
system is booted, use the lspci command to confirm the visibility of
the OneConnect NIC function. The output shows a OneConnect NIC function,
for example: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corp. Emulex OneConnect
10Gb NIC (be3)

13. The OneConnect Ethernet driver automatically loads with the inbox
driver, and creates the network interfaces. Use the ifconfig command to
verify that the interface is created.

14. After configuring the network interfaces with proper IP addresses, you
can send and receive network traffic from the VM. << (Consult the
documentation for your host and guest operating systems for network
configuration help).>>
