With a few hacks I was able to get somewhere with this… I wasn’t able to update everything nor restore the bios.
1. I downloaded the tool from IBM site: http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079820&brandind=5000008
2. I put this in the /tftpboot/bomc directory.
3. Copied /tftpboot/bomc/[tcrootfs|tc.zip] into /tftpboot
4. Edited /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/dhcpd.pm line 282 made the filename say “bomc/pxelinux.0” instead of “pxelinux.0”
5. Edited /tftpboot/bomc/pxelinux.cfg/default:
– added: console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200
– changed tftp server: 172.20.0.1 instead of the 9.x.x.x
That got me booted up, but didn’t allow me to update the firmware… lame.
