On HPE servers configured with any of the HPE Mellanox-based network adapters listed in the Scope section below, the Mellanox OFED driver installation script will automatically update firmware on the adapters without any user confirmation. The script invokes the firmware update process automatically once it completes the installation of the RPMs.The following example shows the Mellanox OFED automatically updating firmware on a Mellanox MCX623106AS-CDAT Ethernet 100Gb 2-port QSFP56 Adapter for HPE:# ./mlnxofedinstallLogs dir: /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.455285.logsGeneral log file: /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.455285.logs/general.logVerifying KMP rpms compatibility with target kernel...This program will install the MLNX_OFED_LINUX package on your machine.Note that all other Mellanox, OEM, OFED, RDMA or Distribution IB packages will be removed.Those packages are removed due to conflicts with MLNX_OFED_LINUX, do not reinstall them.Do you want to continue?[y/N]:yUninstalling MLNX_EN driverStarting MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.3-1.0.0.1 installation ...Installing mlnx-ofa_kernel RPMVerifying... ########################################Preparing... ########################################Updating / installing...mlnx-ofa_kernel-5.3-OFED.5.3.1.0.0.1.r########################################Configured /etc/security/limits.confInstalling kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel 5.3 RPMVerifying... ########################################......Verifying... ########################################Preparing... ########################################Device (e3:00.0):e3:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT2892 Family [ConnectX-6 Dx]Link Width: x16PCI Link Speed: 8GT/sDevice (e3:00.1):e3:00.1 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT2892 Family [ConnectX-6 Dx]Link Width: x16PCI Link Speed: 8GT/sInstallation finished successfully.Verifying... ################################# [100%]Preparing... ################################# [100%]Updating / installing...1:mlnx-fw-updater-5.3-1.0.0.1 ################################# [100%]Added 'RUN_FW_UPDATER_ONBOOT=no to /etc/infiniband/openib.confInitializing...Attempting to perform Firmware update...Querying Mellanox devices firmware ...Device #1:----------Device Type: ConnectX6DXPart Number: MCX623106AS-CDA_AxDescription: ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter card; 100GbE; Dual-port QSFP56; PCIe 4.0 x16; Secure Boot; No CryptoPSID: MT_0000000437PCI Device Name: e3:00.0Base GUID: 9440c9ffffb5b368Base MAC: 9440c9b5b368Versions: Current AvailableFW 22.27.6008 22.30.1004PXE 3.5.0903 3.6.0301UEFI 14.20.0025 14.23.0017Status: Update required---------Found 1 device(s) requiring firmware update...Device #1: Updating FW ...FSMST_INITIALIZE - OKWriting Boot image component - OK DoneRestart needed for updates to take effect.Log File: /tmp/lY0rU5xLc5Real log file: /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.3627.logs/fw_update.logTo load the new driver, run:/etc/init.d/openibd restart

This is a known condition and a feature incorporated with Mellanox OFED (MLNX_OFED). The Mellanox OFED driver package includes the firmware images for these affected HPE Mellanox-based network adapters.If the installation script finds that the firmware on the network adapter is not up-to-date, then the script will perform the firmware update automatically.Automatic firmware updates on these network adapters can be prevented by using the command line option "--without-fw-update" with the Mellanox OFED installation script as follows:# /mlnxofedinstall --without-fw-updateRECEIVE PROACTIVE UPDATES: Receive support alerts (such as Customer Advisories), as well as updates on drivers, software, firmware, and customer replaceable components, proactively in your e-mail through HPE Support Alerts.
