# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/yum/software/bootstrap.sh | bash
2) Run firmware bootstrap
# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/yum/firmware/bootstrap.sh | bash
Firmware bootstrap does the following:
1) Install firmware-tools (which pulls libsmbios-bin, libsmbios-libs)
2) Install firmware-raw-inventory pkgs. These are packages that "provide:"
a virtual package named "firmware_inventory(*capability*)", where
"*capability*" varies.
proposed packages:
- firmware_inventory(bios) *included in firmware-tools*
- firmware_inventory(bmc) *included in firmware-tools*
- firmware_inventory(pci) *included in firmware-tools*
- firmware_inventory(scsi) *optional*
- firmware_inventory(sas) *optional*
- firmware_inventory(rac) *optional*
For optional modules, cmdline option to pull in all unconditionally,
or hints module to pull in based on, eg. sysid.
3) run 'inventory-firmware --bootstrap'
output:
system_bios(ven_0x1028_dev_0x0152)
system_firmware(ven_0x1028_dev_0x0152)
pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x3580_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x0152)
pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x2448)
scsi_enclosure_firmware(ven_0x9999_dev_0x9999)
sas_enclosure_firmware(ven_0x9999_dev_0x9999)
... etc ...
4) Install the RPMs that 'provide' the above raw output.
This pulls in the firmware data RPM, plus any execution/inventory RPMs
that may be necessary.
5) run 'apply-updates'
firmware-tools RPM has the skeleton for everything:
1) system-raw-inventory
2) system-inventory
2) apply-updates
apply-updates
1) get complete system inventory
2) get installed firmware update list
3) calculate list of updates to install
4) check prereqs for each update
prereqs:
Each update is composed of a firmware data file, plus an optional prereq file. Prereqs have the following format:
src_pkg: REQTYPE pkg [op version] [if Condition]
REQTYPE:
Requires:
Conflicts: src_pkg cannot be installed if pkg meets op version and
condition
PreRequires: Target pkg must be running required level before src_pkg
can go. Implies reboot if pkg must be updated first and cannot be
updated without reboot (like rbu).
Condition:
match_sysid SYSID
pci_present PCI_ID
match_pkg PKG_NAME [op version]
op:
> >= = <= < != <>
examples:
lsi_fw_upd: Requires backplane
