You can create bootable media that contains a specific
firmware update, such as BIOS or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC).
About this task
Complete the following procedure to create bootable media
for a specific firmware update:
Procedure
- Download the firmware update, such as BIOS or BMC, to the
working directory on the local system. Be sure to download
both the binary files and the XML file used by the UpdateXpress System Pack Installer,
or UpdateXpress cannot
detect the update. You can download updates from the IBM
Support Portal website
at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal.
- Create a bootable media using the downloaded firmware update. For example, enter the following command from a system running Windows to create an ISO image
using the update file located in the c:\workingdir directory.
The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer tool
and bootable environment are acquired from the IBM website by default.
ibm_utl_bomc_9.63_windows_i386.exe --function=uxspi --iso=bmc.iso --local=
c:\workingdir
Note: If no machine type is specified, the
default value is All, which will download all
