Update System Firmware

1. Log into IPMI (direct connect or the network).

   Defaults for IPMI:

   • IP address: 10.17.21.51

   • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

   • Login: admin

   • Password: Qa@Ip00! (the charcter after "@" is a capital "I" as in India)

     Note: The customer will change the defaults. So, the updated defaults will need to be acquired to access the IPMI with your laptop/computer.

   

2. Access iKMV/HTML5 using the Remote Control menu or the menu on the left side of the IPMI screen.

   

3. Press the iKMV/HTML5 button to open the CLI.

   Note: The CLI launches in a new window.

   

4. To log into the CLI, use the following information:

   • Service login: service
   • Password: quantumSNi

Note: Use a USB thumb drive/stick to update the R3000 firmware.

To update the system firmware, complete the following:

1. Download the system firmware (release file) to a thumb drive/stick.

2. Run lsblk to determine the block devices.

   Additional Information

   • Run this command to ensure that there isn’t already a device labeled sdb1 on the system, and confirm that when the thumb drive appears it shows up as sdb1.
   • This command lists information about all available or the specified block devices.
   • The command prints all block devices (except RAM disks) in a tree-like format by default.

   

3. Insert the thumb drive/stick into one of the USB ports on the back (top-right) of the chassis.

   

4. Run lsblk to determine the newly added drive.

   1. It is typically labeled sbd.
   2. The partition to mount will also be listed (typically sdb1).

   

5. Mount the USB partition. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

   Note: If you cannot mount the device, you may have to switch to root user.
   Use the sudo su command, login as service, and password quantumSNi

6. Copy the file from the USB thumb drive/stick to a temporary directory (/tmp).

   cp /mnt/openmediavault_4.1.12.X.XX_all.deb /tmp

   (where X.XX is the version number of the update file being used)

   

7. Change into the /tmp directory

   cd /tmp

   

8. Verify the file is visible: ls

   

9. Unmount the usb drive: umount /mnt

   

10.  Run the dpkg commands. There are three commands. The dpkg is a tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages.

    1. dpkg -- remove openmediavault

       

    2. dpkg -- purge openmediavault

       

    3. dkpg -i openmediavault_4.1.12.X.XX_all.deb
       (where X.XX is the version number of the update file being used)

       
       

11. Initialize OMV after the install.

    omv-initsystem

12. Go back to the root directory: cd /

13. Remove the USB thumb drive/stick from the back of the chassis.

    

14. Reboot the system: reboot

    Upon running reboot the IPMI is initializing.

    

15. After IPMI has initialized, the CLI logon screen appears as shown below.

    System has completed its reboot.

    

16. Log on to the OMV/GUI and verify the newly updated firmware is reflected in the System Information version line (representative example below).

    

    That completes the process to update the system firmware.
