Redfish Command for BIOS upgrade

[Jayashree D]

Hi All,

I am working on BIOS upgrade in my environment, and I tried the following steps to update the BIOS.


1.       I copied my image(bios.tar.gz) to /tmp/images in BMC using SCP method.

2.       After that, updated the BIOS image using the below dbus command.

busctl set-property xyz.openbmc_project.Software.BMC.Updater /xyz/openbmc_project/software/28bd62d9 xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation RequestedActivation s xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.RequestedActivations.Active

3.       I find the below journalctl logs after updating the image.
              Journalctl Logs:
root at tiogapass:~# journalctl | grep image

Jan 01 00:28:41 tiogapass phosphor-image-updater[229]: Bios upgrade completed successfully

In REDFISH, I tried the following command to update the bios image and it shows error.

#curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"  -X POST -T /home/bios/bios_18aug.tar.gz https://${bmc}/redfish/v1/UpdateService
{
  "error": {
    "@Message.ExtendedInfo": [
      {
        "@odata.type": "#Message.v1_0_0.Message",
        "Message": "The request failed due to an internal service error.  The service is still operational.",
        "MessageArgs": [],
        "MessageId": "Base.1.4.0.InternalError",
        "Resolution": "Resubmit the request.  If the problem persists, consider resetting the service.",
        "Severity": "Critical"
      }
    ],
    "code": "Base.1.4.0.InternalError",
    "message": "The request failed due to an internal service error.  The service is still operational."
  }
}

Could you please let me know, if there is any command for BIOS upgrade using redfish?

Thanks & Regards,
Jayashree
