Issue

  • AFF A400, AFF C400, ASA A400, ASA C400, FAS8300, FAS8700
  • Upgrading to BMC 13.7
  • BMC is showing the installed version

Example:
::> system service-processor show
IP       Firmware
Node       Type  Status   Configured  Version    IP Address
---------- ---- --------- ----------  --------- --------------
node-01     BMC  online      true      13.7      172.10.10.10
node-02     BMC  online      true      13.7      172.10.10.11
2 entries were displayed.
 
  • Ping to BMC IP fails:

user@pc:~$ ping -c 5 node-02-sp PING node-02-sp.fqdn (172.10.10.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- node-02-sp.fqdn ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 410
 
  • SSH to BMC fails:

user@pc:~$ ssh node-02-sp.fqdn;
ssh: connect to host node-02-sp.fqdn port 22:
Connection timed out
 
  • The same issue is seen using the backup BMC image:

::> system service-processor reboot-sp -node node-02 -image backup
  • The issue remains even after reseating the controller.
  • Attempt to upgrade / reinstall BMC firmware fails due to network inaccessibility
    • Example when updating from the BMC CLI:

BMC node-01> bmc update http://123.123.123.123/BMC_FW_308-04160_13.10P1.ima
