5.2 BMC Firmware Update
This section provides guidelines on BMC firmware update process in Linux and Windows
systems.
In-band means user performs firmware update on the system which has installed
Windows/Linux operating system. Using the in-band update, the firmware pack-
age is readable in the platform system interface so that the user can execute
update script to perform firmware update.
Out-of-band (OOB) means the firmware update is performed remotely. User exe-
cute the firmware update which the firmware image and command will be deliv-
ered to BMC through network interface. BMC receive the command and image to
perform firmware update.
In-band and Out-of-band are two different ways to update BMC firmware.
Please be aware that the way to update BMC firmware through In-band YAFUFLASH tool
can’t be supported for preserving BMC configurations but other YAFUFLASH and BMC
WebUI through out-of-band ways can support for preserving BMC configurations.
Out-of-band (Offline) update (via YAFUFLASH tool)
