X710-DA2 Update not working - Unsupported OROM Combo Image

hello!

 

I just tried to update my X710-DA2 from version 9.10 to the latest 9.30 but without luck.

I get this as an output of the nvmupdate tool => 

Screenshot 2023-09-09 160256.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried running the tool with -p to skip the OROM update but that didn´t work and I also tried it on Windows - without luck either... This is very odd, as I never had any problems updating that card. Rerunning the old 9.10 update package works - no errors there...

The card is a genuine Intel branded card, no Dell card etc... I also attached the inventory.xml...

What could be wrong? 

 

Thanks

Alex

Hi Srri!

 

Thanks for your answer! I have tried it again - output was the same error message... I have downloaded the firmware from your link. I did a BIOS update but that hasn´t changed anything.

 

Do you know what error this is? Something seems wrong with the BootIMG.FLB / OROM Image. I mean on the same system I can rerun the v9.10 update package without a problem, so it somehow must be a problem with the newer firmware package.

The BootIMG.FLB file in the old update package v9.10 is also substantially larger 1 683 014 bytes vs 1 379 463 bytes. I guess something is missing there. Quickly analyzing those files in a text editor also shows something is clearly missing in the new version. 

Also for comparison:

v9.01 BootIMG.FLB = 1 683 014 bytes - update works

v9.10 BootIMG.FLB = 1 683 014 bytes - update works

v9.20 BootIMG.FLB = 1 310 096 bytes - update does not work

v9.30 BootIMG.FLB = 1 379 463 bytes - update does not work

 

Can you please clarify this with the developers?  Thanks!

Update:

I was able to update the NVM to the latest version, however, going through the following process disables iSCSI and SMCLP on OROM. 

I used the Intel PREBOOT flashing utility to manually update the OROM using the following command. 

.\BOOTUTILW64E.EXE -UP=combo -FILE BootIMG.FLB -NIC 1

It mentioned that "Updating to PXE+EFI will disable PXE+iSCSI+EFI". I didn't have use of iSCSI in my deployment, hence I proceeded anyway. 

After the flashing process was complete, I proceeded to use the NVM update utility and it was able to update my NIC's NVM to v9.30

Here's the new inventory output:

Oh, thanks for also posting here about your experience. I thought I was the only one with this problem. This supports my thesis that something with the update package is broken.

 

Also thanks for providing a way to update that card. Unfortunately for me disabling the ISCSI functions is not feasible.

Hi Srri!

 

sorry, but I don't get your answer. My card is not showing the line "Up to date" - I never posted this. With the guide from mostwanted002 I could get the card updated but while doing so I will lose some essential functions.

So my question again is, to kindly ask you, if you could ask the devs if they can fix this broken update package. Please!

 

(as written above - the BootIMG.flb is broken... => https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/X710-DA2-Update-not-working-Unsupported-OROM-Combo-Image/m-p/1523017/highlight/true#M34489)

Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a way to open the issue on the developer page / linked developer zone. So this one is still broken. Isn´t there a way for you, to forward the inquiry to the corresponding driver developer team?
