Basic software procedures Different controllers send different addresses: – LAN controller: MAC (Media Access Control) address – Fibre channel controller: WWN (World Wide Name) address – Infiniband/Omni-Path controller: GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier) address – SAS controller: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) address 5.3.14.2 Looking for the MAC address of a LAN controller There are several possible locations where these addresses can be found.
Command Line Protocol (CLP) will be displayed. For add-in cards the vendors provide documentation and tools, offered on the Fujitsu support web pages: https://ts.fujitsu.com/support/ Select the server, select Downloads - More Details - Driver. Some vendors bundle the documentation together with the driver package.
For more information, see the "iRMC S6 - Web Interface" user guide. ▶ Inform the customer about the new SAS address. The customer need the new SAS address, especially when the server is connected to a Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS system.

Basic software procedures Prior to the firmware update the image file to be used is checked. ● The image file is verified to prevent an unauthorized image from being used. ● It is checked if the image file has been tampered with. If the result of the check shows that the image file is not the original one any longer you can configure an automatic recovery of the image file by using a golden image.
Basic software procedures Updating the golden image using the Redfish API of the iRMC S6 Further information about the Redfish API of the iRMC S6, see the iRMC S6 Redfish documentation on the Fujitsu support internet pages at: https://ts.fujitsu.com/support/ 5.3.19.2...
