AT8901M User Guide

This command enables the startup configuration 3 only for the next system restart. In the case
that the board hangs due to a corrupted software image, this will be detected and the board is
automatically rebooted with the previous known good startup configuration. This way, a failsafe
upgrade of the AT8901M software is possible.

To restart the board with the new startup configuration, the CLI command ‘reload’ is used:

(Base Fabric) (Config)#reload

If the new startup configuration is considered functional after the reboot, it must be activated
permanently, or else the one that is still active will be used again:

(Base Fabric) (Config)#startupslot 3 activate

Updating IPMI

Updating the IPMI firmware is different from updating the other software parts as updating is
done directly when invoking the download command. In the case that the update procedure
fails or the update image is corrupted, the IPMC will be able to restart all the same by means
of its rollback functionality. The IPMI software package file is stored in the result/ppc405/firm-
ware path of the release directory tree. To update the IPMI firmware, the CLI command ‘down-
load’ is used:

(Base Fabric) #download ipmifw tftp://192.168.50.5/at8901m-ipmi-GA-3.06.hpm

Flashing a new IPMI firmware will disable the IPMI Controller for some minutes.
