X710-DA2 NVM Update not available

MMike7 — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 13:54:04 GMT

Got Supoermicro server from supplier with X710-DA2 Card

I'm install FreeBSD 11, update to stable and have next messages:

ixl0: mem 0xf8000000-0xf8ffffff,0xf9008000-0xf900ffff irq 32 at device 0.0 on pci3

ixl0: The driver for the device detected an older version of the NVM image than expected.

So I try update NVM under FreeBSD:

Hi Umike,

Thank you for the post. Is there any way you can provide me the physical serial number on the NIC? I need to identify the PBA number of the NIC, the complete serial # can be found on the adapter itself (NOT ON THE BOX), with the format of 15 alphanumeric (space) 6 alphanumeric (space) 6 alphanumeric - 3 digits.

thanks,

I discovered that it's Dell branded NIC and start using Dell Firmware update tool.

It's updated to 16.5.20 from Dell, next 17.0.0 and 17.0.5 got

Running validation...

This Update Package is not compatible with your system configuration.

and still have

ixl0: The driver for the device detected an older version of the NVM image than expected.

Please update the NVM image.

in BSD.

Card have next label:

3CFDFE0AA0E0

032 2315AD

H54188 - 005

no more labels with long text like serials

Can I reflash this NIC to native Intel Retail? As I see nvmupdate have "force" option.

Hi Umike,

This is not Intel version network adapter, as H54188 is not the PBA number for X710 of Intel retail adapter, pls refer to URL below

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005612.html

Have you tried contacting Dell* for the firmware reflash or roll back to their firmware ?

rgds,

Re: X710-DA2 NVM Update not available

MMike7 — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:03:31 GMT

As I write, update to 16.5.20 from Dell, then try to update 17.0.0 and 17.0.5 from Dell, but

Running validation...

This Update Package is not compatible with your system configuration.

I'm try contact Dell, but still no answer

Can I change NVM/flash to Intel retail?

maybe I can use some trick with nvmupdate as described here in answer?

We need start production server tomorrow with or without Intel card . Already 3 days we have no real support, can You do real help?

Thanks

Hi Umike,

I am sorry you need to contact Dell* for the firmware still as it is recommended to use Dell's firmware.

Hi Umike,

Just to double check also if you have tried the following: Upgrade first via previous NVMUpdate version which is downloadable at

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25222/NVM-Update-Utility-for-Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-XL710-X710-Series

Then proceed to upgrade to the newer NVMupdate version:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24769/NVM-Update-Utility-for-Intel-Ethernet-Converged-Network-Adapter-XL710-X710-Series

Hope this helps.

I am not Umike, I was looking for the solution for the same problem and found this theme.

I added some technical details that I gathered from the system where this core dump is quite reproducible.

Hi Butcher,

Thank you for the info. What is the serial number of your X710? The complete serial # can be found on the adapter itself (NOT ON THE BOX), with the format of 15 alphanumeric (space) 6 alphanumeric (space) 6 alphanumeric - 3 digits.
