6 Remote power This section describes how to remote power cycle the BMC and DIAG OS. It also describes remote ipmitool power management. Topics: • • Remote BMC and DIAG OS power cycle Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management Remote BMC and DIAG OS power cycle Run ipmitool from the BMC serial console command prompt. Enter the service tag number in upper case. a. Use this command to power cycle a remote system. # ipmitool -H xxx.x.x.
Remote ipmitool DIAG OS power management Use ipmitool to reboot and power off from the BMC serial console command prompt. NOTE: When building the kernel for the Z9432F-ON switch, the kernel flag CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF must be set to n. Having this flag that is turned on causes the kernel to send the ipmi command to power off the switch when the CPU is powered off. For example, pressing the push button for five seconds powers off the CPU.

11 Dell EMC support The Dell EMC support site provides documents and tools to help you use Dell EMC equipment and mitigate network outages. Through the support site you can obtain technical information, access software upgrades and patches, download available management software, and manage your open cases. The Dell EMC support site provides integrated, secure access to these services. To access the Dell EMC support site, go to www.dell.com/support/.
A Firmware update BMC, BIOS, and CPLD firmware update is required before you install the Z9432F-ON switch. CAUTION: The preferred method of updating the BMC code is through the ONIE Firmware Updater. For firmware update instructions, see the Dell EMC PowerSwitch Firmware Updater Release Notes . Only use the following update method if there is an issue with the Firmware Updater. To update the firmware from a remote machine, use the BMC LAN interface.
USB-based firmware update Update your BMC, BIOS, and CPLD firmware with the following commands: Power on the switch Plug in the power cable to the back of the switch. The switch powers up immediately. Create a serial console connection To establish a console connection, use a universal serial bus (USB)-to-RS-232 connection from a USB port to the switch console port. NOTE: The baud rate is 115200. BIOS access process 1. Press delete after the POST Lower DRAM Memory test appears on the screen.
Figure 3. Boot up screen Figure 4. BIOS setup and configuration screen 2. Use the scrollbar on the right side of the console window to scroll up to display the BIOS and CPLD versions. Figure 5. Display BIOS and CPLD versions Update BMC in DIAG OS Use the following DIAG OS command to update BMC: updatetool -D MAIN-BMC -U -e ./-BMC-vx.xx.ima NOTE: Switch to the BMC console to monitor the BMC update status. Confirm BMC updates. Reboot the system. Go to the BIOS update.
You are prompted for confirmation. Press y and enter to continue. When the update is complete, you must power cycle the system. root@dellemc-diag-os:~# updatetool -D MAIN-BMC -U -e disable preserve BIOS configration 00 Disable device protect Disable MAIN-BMC protect operation success, wait HW reset Write image to MAIN-BMC INFO: Yafu INI Configuration File not found...
