Intel X710 DA2 NVM - Update not available

[SHart6]

When starting on both FreeBSD and Linux the latest driver complains that the NVM should be updated.

As there's no FreeBSD NVM update utility available I got the machine temporarily booted into Linux however the updater reports:

"Update not available"

The log from an inventory run identifies the card as a dual port X710:

[02:00:00]: Intel(R) Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710

LAN MAC: 3CFDFE007460

Alt MAC: 000000000000

SAN MAC: 3CFDFE007461

EEPROM: ETrackId: 80001867, Checksum valid

VPD: Size: 152

Flash: Size: 8388608, CIVD: 16.5.10

Vendor: 8086 Device: 1572 Subvendor: 8086 Subdevice: 6 Revision: 1

Type: PXE, Version: 1.0.10, Checksum: Not Relevant

Type: ISCSI, Version: 3.0.44, Checksum: Not Relevant

Type: ISCSI_SETUP, Version: 3.0.44, Checksum: Not Relevant

Type: EFI_X64, Version: 1.1.33, Checksum: None

Type: CLP_LOADER, Version: 3.0.30, Checksum: Valid

Type: IMAGE_SHARED_40G, Version: 1.0.7, Checksum: Not Relevant

Looking in nvmupdate.cfg the device matches the XL710 but there's no match for EEPID which I believe corresponds to the EEPROM: EtrackID of 80001867.

So the question is where do I get the right NVM update from?

./nvmupdate64e -l update.log

Thanks to Intel support guys, we're identified the issue, the supplier shipped Dell SKU versions of the card which is not supported by the generic update tool.

We'll be returning the cards to the supplier obtain genuine Intel retail parts.
