The order is important to minimize any issues for status checking as different components are initialized. 1. BMC firmware 2. BIOS 3. Manageability Engine (ME) firmware 4. FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard. 5. NIC EEPROM =============================================================================== INSTALLATION PROCEDURE =============================================================================== 1. Extract the entire contents of this archive file to the storage medium of your choice. This can be a hard disk, floppy disk or USB flash drive. All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory. 2. Boot to EFI and then run the UpdateBMC.nsh script file to update the Integrated BMC. Modification of the update script with your own command line parameters is not supported and doing so is at your own risk! 3. Install latest available FRU/SDR package specific to the platform. =============================================================================== FIRMWARE RECOVERY PROCEDURES =============================================================================== The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called BMC Force Update Jumper) to the recovery position. The jumper is normally in the normal/de-asserted position. The system must be completely powered off (A/C power removed) before the jumper is moved. After power is re-applied and the firmware update is complete, the system must be powered off again and the jumper must be returned to the de-asserted position before normal operation can begin. A BMC recovery can be accomplished from a USB flash drive. 1. Copy the entire contents of this archive file to the storage USB flash drive. All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory. 2. Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds. 3. Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the recovery position. Details regarding the jumper ID and location can be obtained from the Board TPS for that Platform. 4. Insert the USB flash drive. 5. Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system. 6. The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress press F6 to select boot options. At the boot option menu select to boot to the EFI SHELL. 7. Switch to the directory where you stored the update files and then run the UpdateBMC.nsh script file to update the Integrated BMC. Modification of the update script with your own command line parameters is not supported and doing so is at your own risk! 8. Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds. 9. Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the normal position. 10. Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system. =============================================================================== FIRMWARE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES =============================================================================== Upgrade of BMC FW from version 01.28.10603 to later versions will be documented in the release notes for those versions. Reverting to a lower version of firmware may have unexpected side effects, including but not limited to user settings reset to defaults, and will always result in the loss of functionality which was present in the higher version but was not implemented in the lower version. We do not guarantee that any downgrade will operate without side-effects. Always observe caution when downgrading firmware. WARNING: There were changes in the size of the user-information database at certain releases. Be advised that the following downgrades WILL cause a reset of all user settings to their default settings. 1. 01.07 or newer -> 1.05 or older 2. 01.05 or newer -> 01.01 or older There are no known issues with downgrading of BMC FW from version 01.23.7783 to all versions down to 01.00.2612 inclusive (but is not validated) by using the appropriate firmware update program included in the package for the earlier version. It is recommended that after a downgrade of the firmware the firmware settings be restored to factory defaults. Downgrade of BMC FW from 01.28.10603 to versions lower than BMC 00.16.1504 is unsupported. =============================================================================== KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS =============================================================================== - This BMC FW update package is to be used only on Intel(R) Server Boards and Systems and it does NOT support customer reference boards (CRB) or silicon reference platforms (SRP). Contact your Intel(R) representative to determine where to download the BMC FW for these products. - The BMC FW image file in this package is to be used only with the provided FWPIAUPD update utility. Using the FW image file with a SPI flash device programmer will result in a non-functional system. - If you need to run multi-session stress for SOL, setup timeout of each session to be longer than 99ms. * NOTE: With release 1.07, there was a change to the password system used by * SSH AND SMASH. * As a result, SMASH users may be informed of a possible security attack, by * the utility, when they first log in after updating. * This is not an attack, it is an update which will take place once. - The following requirements/features are not available in this release: 4.5.1.5.22 - System shall support CPU DTS-based specification for fan speed control for Ivytown. [Note - this exclusion applies only to Ivytown.] =============================================================================== ISSUES FIXED =============================================================================== 01.28.10603 =============================================================================== -EPSD100254304: BMC alerts received in an email via SMTP have a different time -Enable https by default to fix security issue of non-ssl password -Upgrade psoc to version 1.10 -Upgrade openssl to 1.0.2k -Upgrade openssh to 7.4p1 -Fix several vulnerability issues in Nessus/Qualys/Trustwave/ZAP scan reports, 1) Web Server Vulnerable to Redirection Page Cross-Site Scripting Attacks; 2) Incomplete or No Cache-control and Pragma HTTP Header Set; 3) Fix SSL Certificate Signed Using Weak Hashing Algorithm and SSL Certificate expiration; 4) Web Server HTTP Header Memory Exhaustion DoS. 5) Web Browser XSS Protection Not Enabled; 6) Incomplete or No Cache-control and Pragma HTTP Header Set; 7) X-Content-Type-Options Header Missing. =============================================================================== 01.27.10527 =============================================================================== -1504423211: BMC False/Unavailable Reading -1504410796: KVM Java certificate expired -Fix issues of 1) X-Frame-Options Header Not Set; 2) Web Browser XSS Protection Not Enabled; 3) Incomplete or No Cache-control and Pragma HTTP Header Set; 4) X-Content-Type-Options Header Missing; 5) SSL Medium Strength Cipher Suites Supported; 6) SSL 64-bit Block Size Cipher Suites Supported (SWEET32); =============================================================================== 01.27.10220 =============================================================================== -EPSD100254677: DIMM information dissapear after generate a System Debug Log in the Integrated BMC Web Console -Upgrade openssl to 1.0.2j -Upgrade openssh to 7.3p1 -Increase robustness of EWS after security scan -Fix vulnerability issues of "form caching" and "X-Frame-Options header not set". -Fix vulnerability issues of APPSOL-29105 ,APPSOL-29110, APPSOL-31180,APPSOL-29121,APPSOL-29117. =============================================================================== 01.25.9862 =============================================================================== -EPSD100252321: Privilege Escalation Attack via EWS - CSRF fix =============================================================================== 01.25.9722 =============================================================================== -EPSD100252407: BMC no responds and bus hang on EMC isilon system -EPSD100252321: Privilege Escalation Attack via EWS =============================================================================== 01.25.9398 =============================================================================== -BMC change to ensure the system remains off after an over current event until the system has been AC power cycled =============================================================================== 01.24.9030 =============================================================================== -EPSD100027525: "Voltage /BB +5.0V STBY (#0xD3) Lower Non-critical - going low.
