Prerequisites ---------------- 1. For the following operating systems: ¡P Red Hat Enterprise Linux* (RHEL*) ¡P SUSE Linux Enterprise Server* (SLES*) ¡P UEFI aware Linux* ¡P or other Linux* -Install the necessary libraries if the utility fails and displays one of the following error messages: -while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. -To fix this, run rpm -ivh xxxx.rpm to install libstdc++ and ncurses rpms for the corresponding operating system. - /lib/ld-linux.so.2: Bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory. - This error indicates that development and optional packages are not installed. Install the necessary packages accordingly. - depends on libncurses5 (>= 6); however: Version of libncurses5:amd64 on system is 5.9+20140913-1+deb8u2. - This message indicates libncurses version must be >= 6. Install new libncurses. -There might be a driver conflict between the internal driver and the kernel. The user needs to start the OpenIPMI driver and make sure the /dev/ipmi0 device exists. For RHEL*: -Run the following command and make sure the /dev/ipmi0 device exists: o #modprobe ipmi_devintf or #modprobe ipmi_si For SLES*: -Run the following command and make sure the /dev/ipmi0 device exists: o #service ipmi start -If the Public Key is not imported, then the following error/warning is displayed: RHEL warning: syscfg*.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID [KEY_ID]: NOKEY SLES warning: syscfg*.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID [KEY_ID]: NOKEY To install the Public Key manually, open the installation package, go to Linux_x64, and run the following command: #rpm --import pubKey.asc 2. Install the lsb_release package to use the installation script on Linux*. 3. The MiTAC Server Configuration Utility only works if it is executed with administrator privilege on Windows* and with root privilege on Linux* operating systems. 4. The user must make sure that an administrator password has been installed in the system before setting any operation to biossettings. This measure is a security design on AMI* BIOS and exclusively applies for the Intel(R) Server System M70KLP Family. 5. For the Intel Server Board M70KLP Family and the Intel Server Board M20NTP2SB. Make sure that the administrator password has been installed in the system before any set operation to biossettings. This is a security design on AMI* BIOS. 6. Reinstall the Windows driver before using 16.x.x version (refer to the Getting Started section in these release notes). 7. To save and restore on any Intel server board based on the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors family (Eagle Stream platforms), make sure that each channel has a NIC card present. If not present on board, connect an OCP card (Ethernet adapter). Make sure that the MAC address is present, along with: BMC Host IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address, and Gateway MAC Address (which should be in Unicast format). 8. After the generation of the tar file using /sbmcdl in Eagle Stream platforms, a warning that can be ignored is displayed during extraction of the tar file. 5. Getting Started ------------------ I. Installation ---------------- 1. Windows and WinPE*: 1. Copy the Syscfg_Vx.x.x_AllOS.zip file into a local directory (for example, C:\syscfg). 2.

Run uninstall.sh from the Linux_x64 directory. 6. Usage -------- 1. Command-line interface syscfg {Options} [File Name]/{Parameters} {Options}: '/?', '/h', -h: Help option lists down all the switches and their descriptions. [File Name]: filename.ini Configuration file. a. To display the system configuration information: syscfg -i b. To display the BIOS parameters: syscfg /d biossettings <"BIOS variable Name"> c. To unlock Boot Services accessible variables for runtime access (this is valid only for the Intel Server Boards M70KLP and M20NTP2SB): syscfg -bsnvlock <"AdminPw"> Note: bsnvlock is a mandatory step before any operation to the BIOS settings. d. To set the BIOS Parameters: syscfg /bcs <"BIOS variable Name"> e. To set the BIOS Parameters: syscfg /bcs "" <"BIOS variable Name"> Notes: "" is kept to match the original state machine parser to avoid further code change. If AdminPw is not set, use "". "BIOS variable Name" should be the same as shown in the BIOS setup utility (F2 screen). "AdminPw" is the BIOS administrator password. If it is not set, use "". "AdminPw" is the BIOS administrator password (this is valid only for the Intel Server Board M70KLP). f. To save BIOS and BMC settings to an INI file, use: syscfg /s BIOSBMC.ini /b /f g. To save only BIOS settings to an INI file, use: syscfg /s BIOS.ini /b h. To save only BMC settings to an INI file, use: syscfg /s BMC.ini /f i. To restore BIOS and BMC settings from a saved INI file, use: syscfg /r BIOSBMC.ini /b /f Note: If AdminPw is set, use /bap (should be put at the end of the command-line): syscfg /r BIOSBMC.ini /b /f /bap "" j. To restore BIOS and BMC settings from a saved INI file, use: syscfg /r BIOSBMC.ini /b /f /nobo k. To change the administrator or user password (this is valid only for Intel Server Board M70KLP): syscfg /bspwd admin <"new pwd"> syscfg /bspwd user <"new pwd"> l. To upload the system software key with filename specific in command line: syscfg /lic AES_licensefile.v2c m. To upload INI files with filename(s) specific in command line: syscfg /fsc fanmap.ini fscprofile.ini zonemap.ini fscprofile_acoustic.ini fscprofile_performance.ini intel_config.ini intel_config_1.ini Note: For more details, refer to the corresponding external product specification and user guide. 7. Reference Documentation -------------------------- IPMI specification, version 2.0. Intel® Server Configuration Utility User Guide. 8. Known Issues --------------- 1. Restore of BIOS variables does not work for read-only variables or variables that may become read-only due to dependent variables. 2. BIOS variables with leading/tailed space cannot be restored successfully. 3. As some BIOS settings have dependencies, using the Intel Server Configuration Utility INI file to save/restore BIOS settings only once may not be able to achieve the goal. The solution is to use command-line or INI file to change/restore twice. For example, if the user wants to restore "ATS Support", restore "Intel(R) VT for Directed I/O" from "Disable" to "Enable" first, in order to make "ATS Support" visible; then, do a second restore to change "ATS Support" value. Upon system reboot, the new BIOS settings take effect. 4. Utilities, SNMP-SA, and IASC cannot run at the same time due to a KCS port conflict. An error message is displayed: "Error: Application Cannot Communicate to the BMC.". 5. The settings under Server Management are saved in the BMC. After a reboot, for some of the settings under server management, the values from the BMC overrides the values set through the "/bcs" switch. The following settings are overwritten (refer to the help for more details): a. Resume on AC Power Loss. This BIOS variable can be set using the BMC switch "/prp". b. Shutdown Policy. This BIOS variable can be set using the BMC switch "/sdp". 6. When using the Intel Server Configuration Utility to get BIOS settings, some differences exist between the UEFI shell and the operating system. For example, the Intel Server Configuration Utility cannot get "Processor PCIe Link Speed" in the operating system. 7. I/O port access is not allowed in Linux when UEFI secure boot is enabled. Disable UEFI secure boot through the F2 menu before running this server utility. 8. Debian* and SLES 15 operating systems do not allow I/O memory map by default. The user must add "iomem=relaxed" to the grub boot option to enable I/O memory map. Otherwise, some features may not work. 9. Authentication type enablement for different privilege level (syscfg /c 1 1 straight+md5) is not working. 10. Syscfg v16.0.11/12/13 don't support using file path name when saving .ini file with /s command and only support file name. Intel® Server Board M70KLP, Specific Issues: -------------------------------------------- 1. Wait for at least five minutes after doing a BMC reset (syscfg /rbmc as well). After that, the user can start running tools. Otherwise, the user may see the KCS "Deny ALL" message, which means that the BMC is still booting and configurating. 2. There is an issue in the BMC when the software keys are updated repeatedly. Such issue could be avoided by performing a BMC reset. In Windows and Linux, ~4 times are ok, the fifth run is failed. In UEFI shell, the second run is failed. Intel® Server Boards based on 1st or 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Families, Specific Issues: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Some silicon settings require cold reboot to take effect. Meaning that any BIOS setting changed by the Intel Server Configuration Utility requires a cold reset by syscfg /gpc or AC cycle. 2. Reordering boot devices using /bbo should be followed by a system reset, as per IPMI specifications. Otherwise, an immediate display command using /bbo switch may not display the correct boot device order. Intel® Server Board M20NTP2SB, Specific Issues: ----------------------------------------------- 1. Restore command is failing for Boot Order and Quiet Boot parameters. 2. syscfg /le static is not working. 3. syscfg /dt is not working. It is an existing issue for other platforms also. 9. Unsupported Features ----------------------- Intel® Server Boards based on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Families, Specific Issues: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The server utility cannot be executed successfully when UEFI secure boot is enabled under Linux. This is due to Linux closing all I/O port access when UEFI secure boot is enabled. If the user wants to use the server utility under Linux environment, ensure that UEFI secure boot is disabled through BIOS F2 menu. Intel® Server Board M70KLP, Specific Issues: -------------------------------------------- 1. syscfg /bbo, /cr, /gpc, /sdp, /fan, and /rnm are not supported currently due to AMI BMC and BIOS limitations. 2. Currently, none of the features related to SMTP configuration, email alert, and advanced firmware features (/eae, /eac, /lac and /lacipv6) are supported, due to AMI BMC and BIOS limitations. 3. Authentication type enablement is for RMCP only, and AMI BMC only returns a completion code for such configuration (syscfg /lc), because RMCP is disabled by default and cannot be enabled during runtime. Intel® Server Boards based on 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family, Specific Issues: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. syscfg /sol is not supported. 2. syscfg.exe /lac is not supported. 3. syscfg /eac and /eae are not supported. 4. syscfg /lacipv6 is not supported. 5. syscfg /lfo is not supported. 6. SDR package is not available. 10. Change List --------------- Build 16.0.13 1. Removed BIOS EFI Secure Boot Key Settings. Build 16.0.12 1.
