NCN Firmware

This page describes the non-compute node’s (NCN) firmware; the minimum versions, and how to interrogate information from an NCN.

Minimum versions

This section outlines the minimum firmware versions for a CSM install.

NOTE Minimum firmware versions refers to versions that CSM has tested and verified to work for a CSM installation. Using older versions is not recommended, and user experience may vary.

The entries in this table may change as new features are added, bug fixes are adopted, or if/when newer Redfish® versions are required.

NOTE The values below match what is returned by Redfish® API calls.

Board Manufacturer Board Model BIOS Version Firmware Version
Cray Inc R272-Z30-00 C37 12.84.17
HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus A43 v1.38 (10/30/2020) iLO 5 v2.44
HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus v2 A43 v1.38 (10/30/2020) iLO 5 v2.44
Intel Corporation S2600WFT SE5C620.86B.02.01.0012.C0001.070720200218 2.48.89b32e0d

NOTE “Cray Inc” is reported as the board manufacturer on Gigabyte boards.

BMC interrogation

This section will assist an administrator in interrogating the BMCs on a system. It provides various methods for various contexts.

The viable endpoints to query for advanced Redfish® users are:

  • redfish/v1/Managers/{ID} | jq -r '.Manufacturer, .BiosVersion , .Model'
  • redfish/v1/Systems/{ID} | jq -r .FirmwareVersion
