nvmupdate on X710-da4 fails

MFuck1 · ‎07-29-2016

Hi,

I have 6 identical systems with X710-DA4. 4 came with NVM 4.42 and could be upgraded to 5.04 without Problems. 2 have 4.53 and when trying to update, I get: Device not found. Is there a way to downgrade to 4.42 first so I could install 5.04?

Hi molli123,

While we're still checking for the downgrade file and procedure, kindly share the Ethtool -i output of your 2 X710-DA2 with FW 4.53.

Thanks,

Vince

I just got help from another side of intel how to modify my cfg-file to successfully upgrade to 5.02- and I haeard a fixed nvmupdate package is on the way.

Thanks for your help,

Michael!
