  • Windows Internet Information Services (IIS)

Issue

  • While updating the BMC firmware from an IIS Web server, if you are on ONTAP 9.1, you have to download the .ima file.
  • While updating the firmware, it can start but immediately fail with no cause.
  • The following can be observed from the cluster shell:

aff700s-c::> sp image update -node aff700s-c-01 -update-type network-full -package http://10.xx.xx.xx/A700S_BMC_0152.ima

Note: Firmware update will need to reboot the SP on completion. If your console connection is through the SP, it will be disconnected Do you want to proceed with the firmware update ? {y|n}: y SP firmware update has been successfully scheduled.

aff700s-c::*> sp image update-progress show
                 In                           Percent
Node             Progress Start Time          Done    End Time
---------------- -------- ------------------- ------- -------------------
aff700s-c-01    yes      12/20/2018 19:53:57  1       -
aff700s-c-02    no       12/19/2018 19:53:57  100     12/19/2018 20:53:57

The update will start at 1%, but will fail after 30 seconds:

aff700s-c::*> sp image update-progress show
                 In                           Percent
Node             Progress Start Time          Done    End Time
---------------- -------- ------------------- ------- -------------------
aff700s-c-01    no       12/20/2018 19:53:57  1       12/20/2018 19:54:28
aff700s-c-02    no       12/19/2018 19:53:57  100     12/19/2018 20:53:57
2 entries were displayed.

When attempting to update directly from the BMC, the following failure is observed:
 

admin@[01-30]:~$ system fw upgrade bmc http http://10.xx.xx.xx/A700S_BMC_01.ima
Starting Firmware Update...
Check Parameter...
Connect to http server...wget: can't connect to remote host (): Bad file descriptor

Abort firmware update

Event logs shows a BMC update failure occurred, but does not give a reason. This will need to be grabbed from the servprocd.log file located in the /mroot/etc/mlog folder. The following failure is observed:
