Update the TPM firmware

Optionally, you can update the TPM firmware using Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI.

Note
TPM firmware update is irreversible. After update, the TPM firmware cannot be downgraded to earlier versions.

Follow the procedure below to see the TPM firmware version:

From Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager
  1. Start the server and press the key specified in the on-screen instructions to display the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager interface. (For more information, see the Startup section in the LXPM documentation compatible with your server at Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager portal page.)

  2. If the power-on Administrator password is required, enter the password.

  3. From the UEFI Setup page, click System Settings > Security > Trusted Platform Module > TPM 2.0 > TPM Firmware Version.

Update the TPM firmware

To update the TPM firmware, do the following:
  1. Download and install Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI.

    To download Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI, go to the following site:

    XClarity Essentials OneCLI website

  2. Run the following command:

    OneCli.exe config set TrustedComputingGroup.DeviceOperation "Update to TPM 2.0 firmware version <x.x.x.x>" --bmc <userid>:<password>@<ip_address>
    where:
    • <x.x.x.x> is the target TPM version.

      e.g. TPM 2.0 (7.2.1.0) -> TPM 2.0 (7.2.2.0):

      OneCli.exe config set TrustedComputingGroup.DeviceOperation "Update to TPM 2.0 firmware version 7.2.2.0" --bmc <userid>:<password>@<ip_address>
    • <userid>:<password> are the credentials used to access the BMC (Lenovo XClarity Controller interface) of your server. The default user ID is USERID, and the default password is PASSW0RD (zero, not an uppercase o).

    • <ip_address> is the IP address of the BMC.
