Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system board is replaced. Use the Advanced Settings Utility to update the DMI in the UEFI-based server.

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system board is replaced. Use Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI to update the DMI in the UEFI-based server. Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI is an online tool that supports several operating systems. Make sure that you download the version for your operating system. You can download Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI from the Lenovo Web site. To download Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI and update the DMI, do the following:

Note

Changes are made periodically to the Lenovo Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document.

Go to Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI program download Web site. Then, find and download Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI version for your operating system.
Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI sets the DMI in the Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1). Select one of the following methods to access the Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1) to set the DMI:
- Online from the target system, such as LAN or keyboard console style (KCS) access
- Remote access to the target system (LAN based)
- Bootable medium containing Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI (LAN or KCS, depending upon the bootable media)
Copy and unpack the Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI package, which also includes other required files, to the server. Make sure that you unpack the Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI and the required files to the same directory. In addition to the application executable (OneCLI or OneCLI64), the following files are required:
- For Windows based operating systems:
  - ibm_rndis_server_os.inf
  - device.cat
- For Linux based operating systems:
  - cdc_interface.sh
After you install Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI, type the following commands to set the DMI:
```
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> [access_method]
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n> [access_method]
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag> [access_method]
```
Where:
<m/t_model>
The server machine type and model number. Type mtm xxxxyyy, where xxxx is the machine type (8693) and yyy is the server model number.
<s/n>
The serial number on the server. Type sn zzzzzzz, where zzzzzzz is the serial number.
<asset_method>
The server asset tag number. Type asset aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the asset tag number.
[access_method]
The access method that you select to use from the following methods:
- Online authenticated LAN access, type the command:
  [−−imm imm_user_id:imm_password@imm_internal_ip]
  Where:
  imm_internal_ip
  The IMM2 internal LAN/USB IP address. The default value is 169.254.95.118.
  imm_user_id
  The IMM2 account (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.
  imm_password
  The IMM2 account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is PASSW0RD (with a zero 0 not an O).
  Note
  If you do not specify any of these parameters, Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI will use the default values. When the default values are used and Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI is unable to access the IMM2 using the online authenticated LAN access method, Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI will automatically use the unauthenticated KCS access method.
  Examples that do use the user ID and password default values:
  onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n> onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag>
- Online KCS access (unauthenticated and user restricted):
  You do not need to specify a value for access_method when you use this access method.
  The KCS access method uses the IPMI/KCS interface. This method requires that the IPMI driver be installed. Some operating systems have the IPMI driver installed by default. Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI provides the corresponding mapping layer. To download the Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI Users Guide, do the following:
  1. Go to the Lenovo Support Portal.
  2. Click Downloads tab at the top of the panel.
  3. Under ToolsCenter, select View ToolsCenter downloads.
  4. Select Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI.
  5. Scroll down and click the link and download Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI version for your operating system. Scroll down and look under Online Help to download the Lenovo ToolsCenter Suite CLI Users Guide.
  The following commands are examples of not using the user ID and password default values:
```
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model>
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n>
onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag>
```
- Remote LAN access, type the command:
  Note
  When using the remote LAN access method to access IMM2 using the LAN from a client, the host and the imm_external_ip address are required parameters.
```
[−−imm imm_user_id:imm_password@imm_external_ip]
```
  Where:
  imm_external_ip
  The external IMM2 LAN IP address. There is no default value. This parameter is required.
  imm_user_id
  The IMM2 account (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.
  imm_password
  The IMM2 account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is PASSW0RD (with a zero 0 not an O).
  Examples that do use the user ID and password default values:
  onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> --host <imm_ip> onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n> --host <imm_ip> onecli config set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag> --host <imm_ip>
