Appendix C. IBM SWG Appliances - FoD Key Installation after Hardware Replacement Summary

This document provides the steps required to re-install the Feature-On-Demand (FoD) keys, which were previously purchased and installed on an IBM SWG Appliance customer machine. This procedure must be completed after a planar or RAID part replacement to restore full functionality to the customer’s machine post hardware replacement activity.

Preparation (steps 2-6 can be performed before arriving at customer site)

1. If the machine will boot successfully and the part being replaced is a planar, then boot using BoMCsft2. Use BLUE MENU option #3 ‘Backup and Restore All System Settings’ to ‘Backup’ (sub-option #1) the planar configuration settings (which includes FoD keys) onto the USB key. If successful, then skip to Parts Replacement section below. Otherwise, then proceed to step #2.

2. The FoD must be obtained from the Lenovo FoD Portal: https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms/angular/app/pages/index.htm#/welcome .

If you do not yet have access to the website via Lenovo sign-on, register using this link: https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms/angular/app/pages/index.htm#/register

3. After signing in, select ‘Retrieve History’.

4. Select ‘Search history via machine type serial number’, then enter the System x Machine Type and Serial Number in the search value field. Format: MMMMSSSSSSS where M = Type, S = Serial. Ensure uppercase letters are used. Do NOT use the Appliance Machine Type and Serial Number.

5. Download all of the listed .key files to your root directory of your BoMCsft2 USB Key.

IBM QRadar Appliances Type 4412 Problem Determination and Service Guide p. 6 of 17

P/N: 00VM698 EC: P42749 Origin: MX Printed in Mexico

6. You may refer to or download a copy of the FoD User’s Guide from Lenovopress:

https://lenovopress.com/redp4895-using-system-x-features-on-demand *Note: The doc still references the IBM FoD support portal but use the Lenovo FoD support site (see step 2).

Parts replacement (onsite)

1. Perform parts replacement as per Installation & Service Guide (ISG), Problem Determination & Service Guide (PDSG), or Problem Determination & Service Guide Addendum, whichever is applicable to this SWG Appliance.

Installation Steps (onsite)

1. Boot the machine using BoMCsft2.

2. If you were able to ‘Backup’ the planar configuration prior to parts replacement, then skip to step #4. Otherwise, using BoMCsft2’s BLUE MENU option #4 set the VPD information according to the information in the PDSG Addendum (System x M/T and Serial are most commonly used).

3. Using BLUE MENU option #5 ‘FoD Functions’ then sub-option #4 to ‘Install FoD Keys’, proceed to step 5.

4. Select BLUE MENU option #3 ‘Backup and Restore All System Settings’ then sub-option #3 for ‘Restore’ the planar configuration from the USB key. This will include restoring FoD key files that should already exist on the USB Key in the root directory from the steps above. Depending on the machine involved, restarting the iMM (or rebooting the machine) may be required for the FoD to activate successfully.

5. Any issues with FoD activation should be directed to SSR Technical Support (in the USA, 1-800-426-2472) using the SWG Appliance machine type and System x sub-menu option (if needed).

Appendix D. IBM SWG Appliances – Updating Appliances after a repair action The BoMCsft2- BoMCsft3 tools will now contain special procedures to update the VPD, Asset Tag and custom firmware blocks for the IBM SWG QRadar, Guardium and NowFactory Appliances.

BoMCsft2 will support blue servers 5460, 5466 and 7914BoMCsft3 will support red servers 8869, 8871 and any future models.

The tools will attempt to auto-detect the appliance and the type if possible. It will rely primarily on the information stored in Asset Tag field. This is why is important to properly update the Appliance VPD after a planar is replaced. To understand how it works, review the two sections on this tutorial prior to work on an IBM SWG appliance.

UPDATING SYSTEM VPD AND APPLIANCE VPD

The System X VPD consists of the ASU settings Machine Type, Model, Serial Number and Product Identifier. The SWG appliance will keep these VPD fields’ original values. The appliance VPD will be stored in the Asset Tag field.For example: a QRadar 2100 G2 is based on a 7914-PSQ System X server

The System X VPD is: 7914PSQ serial xxxxxxx The Appliance VPD is: 4380Q1C serial yyyyyyy

The BoMCsft2 and BoMCsft3 tools will boot to this menu (Blue Menu)To update the VPD after a system board replacement the technician will select option 4

The script will gather the current VPD values, including the Asset Tag.Notice the asset tag is blank, I would expect this to be the case on all replacement planarsUsers will be asked if they would like to continue, (answering N will take them back to the main menu)

After entering the System X actual machine type and serial number, the script will post this question

(only if the actual machine type entered is 5460, 5466, 7914, 8869 or 8871)

If the user answers N, the Asset Tag will be left untouched.

If the answer is Y , the user will get the format help instructions and prompt to enter the Appliance VPD.The planar Asset Tag will be updated with the information provided, there will be no syntax checking so double check before updating.To clear the data that may be stored in the field, just press ENTER without entering any additional characters

After entering the appliance VPD information, a summary of the changes will be shown and the user can either confirm or back out.Notice that even if the VPD alpha characters are entered in lower case, they will be automatically changed to upper case before writing to the fields.

P/N: 00VM698 EC: P42749 Origin: MX Printed in Mexico

After the update is completed, the user will get the options to restart the iMM and/or reboot the system NOTE: The asset tag field does require that you do both so select B to activate the new value.It's also critical for the actual system VPD, especially if FOD keys need to be reinstalled.

Once the server comes back to the Blue Menu, verify that the Asset Tag has been updated correctly,the user can select option 4 again from the Main Menu to re-scan the VPD fields. Now you can move on to updating the firmware.

UPDATING THE SWG APPLIANCE CUSTOM FIRMWARE BLOCK

To update the firmware on the appliance after a system board replacement and AFTER the VPD update has been completed, select option 1 from the Blue Menu.

The tools will auto-detect the appliance and take you to a customized menu section instead of the standard ToolsCenter menu. If the Appliance VPD is recognized correctly and you’re using the correct tool, it will simply ask you to confirm {Y} to go ahead with the updates.

If by any chance, a valid Appliance VPD is not recognized by the tool or the server is NOT an appliance but the tool has detected information in the Asset Tag, please review the instructions on the screen and take the appropriate action. Many customers use the Asset Tag field for asset tracking and inventory.

Remember the rules, blue machines are supported by BoMCsft2 and red machines are supported by the BoMCsft3. If you attempt to update an appliance with the wrong tool, it will stop you and advise to use the other tool.
