"firmware-nic-intel-1.30.0-1.1/hpsetup -d" failed to create the discovery XML

[shanyin]

Tried to create the discovery XML file using firmware-nic-intel-1.30.0-1.1's hpsetup extracted but failed. The discover operation also fails with 1.29.0 and 1.28.0 versions but it works with version 1.27.30. What's the exact cause and how to make the dircover operation succeed for version 1.30.0?

BTW, product_id value="HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter". So it seems that firmware-nic-intel-1.28.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm and newer firmware packages do not support HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter anymore as the release notes are saying.

What product are you referring to? Any Network product?

Thanks for confirming. It looks there's an issue specifically with version 1.30.0 of the firmware package. The error logs don't provide detailed information about why the creation of the discovery XML failed. However, since the issue only occurs with version 1.30.0 and not with version 1.27.30, it suggests that there might be a change or a bug introduced in version 1.30.0 causing this problem. Can you try roll back to the previous version and see of that fixes.

Let me know..

Hello,

If in case, the "HPE Intel Online Firmware Upgrade Utility Linux x86_64 for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 server series Only", was used for this purpose, then, the update would fail as the package does not contain the software for the "HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter".

The section "Notes:" contains information to this effect. As found there, please use this "HPE Intel Online Firmware Upgrade Utility for Linux x86_64" for updating the firmware.

Please use the above and see if it helps.
