bnx2: firmware not running aborting

Hello!

 

After doing online firmware upgrades on a DL360G5 - remotely

the session hanged and were unable to reconnect (nor via ILO).

The update of Broadcom NIC was not completed and the system was totally hung.
Console cannot be reached via ILO - after visiting the server personally, nothing was

visible on screen, until disconnecting from power source (yes, turn off/on not helped).

 

Sadly the BIOS shows no MAC addresses for the onboard NICs, but says disabled.

 

It's definitely not hardware issue (everything was functioning before).

Sadly the online firmware updater needs the NIC to be online (ifconfig visible) but the NIC is not attached to eth device under Linux. Nor the latest SmartUpdate (10.10) finds the NIC on the board :-(

i'm interested if there is a software way to fix this, or i have to replace the motherboard (or insert a dualport NIC).

Thanks for any advices!
