I am trying to upgrade AEP Firmware on a S2600WF platform

ActiveFWVersion: 01.00.00.5127 Bin source: fw_ekvb0_1.2.0.544 ipmctl version: 02.00.00.3709

Any idea?

@Maga78 - You can't go from a very old pre-production firmware to a recent production firmware release in one step. In addition, there was at least one mandatory firmware milestone as we added new features/fixes.

Q) What BIOS revision do you currently have installed? Run dmidecode -t bios and look at the 'Version'

You can get the BIOS and PMem production firmware releases from Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family BIOS and Firmware Update Package for UEFI. I gave you the UEFI page because it's the easiest and fastest way you'll be able to update the firmware. There are OS bundles available if needed.

If you work at Intel, please email me directly for the document I wrote.
