Summary
What can be done to try and resolve an issue with an Invalid Login to BMC after BIOS update
Description
After updating the BIOS using the System Firmware Update Package (SFUP) for Linux*, I get an Invalid Login prompt from the BMC.
Resolution
This may be due to the BIOS not being updated properly in the Active region. Try to follow the steps below installing the components individually to see if the issue is resolved:
| Note | The use of UpdateNvram below will remove all previous BMC configurations such as IP, user, password, and SW keys |
- Update CPLD:
- Execute the following command: sysfwupdt.efi -u CPLD_Binary , example CPLD binary name: FCP_BB_v3p0_RP475p4_Q20p1_std_10M50_cfm1_auto_prd.bin
- Do Not reset the system after this update
- Update the BMC:
- Execute the following command: sysfwupdt.efi -u BMC_Binary, example of BMC binary name: fcp-signed-OBMC-egs-1.95-0-ga44f42-39e80000-pfr-oob.bin UpdateNvram+ImmReset
- Reset the system to apply the CPLD and BMC FW components update.
- Update the BIOS:
- Execute the following command: sysfwupdt.efi -u BIOS_Binary, an example of BIOS binary name: R01.02.0001_FoxCreekPass_EBG_EMR_UpdateCapsule_prd.bin ImmReset
If this does not work, try to load the BIOS from the Recovery region if it is up to date: BIOS Recovery Procedure for Current Intel® Server Boards.
