How it works - via Firmware Interface
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``update`` step can be used via cleaning or servicing, it accepts a JSON in
|
||||
the following format::
|
||||
|
||||
[{
|
||||
"interface": "firmware",
|
||||
"step": "update",
|
||||
"args": {
|
||||
"settings":[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"component": "bmc"
|
||||
"url": "<url_to_firmware_image1>"
|
||||
"wait": <number_of_seconds_to_wait>
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"component": "bios"
|
||||
"url": "<url_to_firmware_image2>"
|
||||
},
|
||||
...
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
|
||||
The different attributes of the ``update`` step are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
.. csv-table::
|
||||
:header: "Attribute", "Description"
|
||||
:widths: 30, 120
|
||||
|
||||
"``interface``", "Interface of the step. Must be ``firmware`` for firmware update"
|
||||
"``step``", "Name of the step. Must be ``update`` for firmware update"
|
||||
"``args``", "Keyword-argument entry (<name>: <value>) being passed to the step"
|
||||
"``args.settings``", "Ordered list of dictionaries of firmware updates to be applied"
|
||||
|
||||
Each firmware image dictionary, is of the form::
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"component": "The desired component to have the firmware updated, only bios and bmc are currently supported",
|
||||
"url": "<URL of firmware image file>",
|
||||
"wait": <Optional time in seconds to wait after applying update>
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
The ``component`` and ``url`` arguments in the firmware image dictionary are
|
||||
mandatory, while the ``wait`` argument is optional.
|
||||
|
||||
For ``url`` currently ``http``, ``https``, ``swift`` and ``file`` schemes are
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Applying updates
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
To perform a firmware update, first download the firmware to a web server,
|
||||
Swift or filesystem that the Ironic conductor or BMC has network access to.
|
||||
This could be the ironic conductor web server or another web server on the BMC
|
||||
network. Using a web browser, curl, or similar tool on a server that has
|
||||
network access to the BMC or Ironic conductor, try downloading the firmware to
|
||||
verify that the URLs are correct and that the web server is configured
|
||||
properly.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, construct the JSON for the firmware update step to be executed.
|
||||
When launching the firmware update, the JSON may be specified on the command
|
||||
line directly or in a file. The following example shows one step that
|
||||
installs two firmware updates.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: json
|
||||
|
||||
[{
|
||||
"interface": "firmware",
|
||||
"step": "update",
|
||||
"args": {
|
||||
"settings":[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"component": "bmc",
|
||||
"url": "http://192.0.2.10/BMC_4_22_00_00.EXE",
|
||||
"wait": 300
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"component": "bios",
|
||||
"url": "https://192.0.2.10/BIOS_19.0.12_A00.EXE"
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to use `runbooks` for firmware updates.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ baremetal runbook create --name <RUNBOOK> --steps \
|
||||
'[{"interface": "firmware", "step": "update", "args": {"settings":[{"component": "bmc", "url":"http://192.168.0.8:8080/ilo5278.bin"}]}}]'
|
||||
$ baremetal node add trait <ironic_node_uuid> <RUNBOOK>
|
||||
$ baremetal node <clean or service> <ironic_node_uuid> --runbook <RUNBOOK>
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, launch the firmware update step against the node. The
|
||||
following example assumes the above JSON is in a file named
|
||||
``update.json``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ baremetal node clean <ironic_node_uuid> --clean-steps update.json
|
||||
$ baremetal node service <ironic_node_uuid> --service-steps update.json
|
||||
|
||||
In the following example, the JSON is specified directly on the command line:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ baremetal node clean <ironic_node_uuid> --clean-steps \
|
||||
'[{"interface": "firmware", "step": "update", "args": {"settings":[{"component": "bmc", "url":"http://192.168.0.8:8080/ilo5278.bin"}]}}]'
|
||||
$ baremetal node clean <ironic_node_uuid> --clean-steps \
|
||||
'[{"interface": "firmware", "step": "update", "args": {"settings":[{"component": "bios", "url":"http://192.168.0.8:8080/bios.bin"}]}}]'
|
||||
$ baremetal node service <ironic_node_uuid> --service-steps \
|
||||
'[{"interface": "firmware", "step": "update", "args": {"settings":[{"component": "bmc", "url":"http://192.168.0.8:8080/ilo5278.bin"}]}}]'
|
||||
$ baremetal node service <ironic_node_uuid> --service-steps \
|
||||
'[{"interface": "firmware", "step": "update", "args": {"settings":[{"component": "bios", "url":"http://192.168.0.8:8080/bios.bin"}]}}]'

.. note::
|
||||
For Dell machines you must extract the firmimgFIT.d9 from the iDRAC.exe
|
||||
This can be done using the command `7za e iDRAC_<VERSION>.exe`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
For HPE machines you must extract the ilo5_<version>.bin from the
|
||||
ilo5_<version>.fwpkg
|
||||
This can be done using the command `7za e ilo<version>.fwpkg`.
