Updating firmware using a Smart Component in Linux

Smart Component updates allow your system to have the latest available features and fixes. The file may be packed in a rpm file or be an scexe file.

Procedure
  1. If needed, unpack the smart component executable (scexe) from the rpm file.
  2. Change to the directory where the file is stored by entering the cd command:

    • All scexe files extracted from an rpm are placed at: cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/scexe-compat

    • Previously extracted scexe files are stored where they were placed when they were copied to the blade.

  3. Make the scexe file executable by entering: chmod 777 CPxxxxx.scexe
  4. Execute the file by entering: ./CPxxxxx.scexe

    Follow any instructions that display.
