UCS C220 M3 bios update failed to start bad request format

Hello,

 

I have an issue with a UCS C220 M3 in that it is in a continual boot loop and can't even get to the boot selection menu. This occurred while I was using the HUU to upgrade the CIMC and BIOS. After the reboot it has been in this state. After a few internet searches it seems that I may have an issue with the BIOS, so on a Linux server I built the bios.cap file

[root@thorin GETFW]# ./getfw -b -s ../ucs-c220-huu-3.0.4j.iso -d ../output

FW/s available at '../output/ucs-c220-huu-3.0.4j'

 

I then moved the file to another server on the same network/subnet, so just going through 1 physical switch that connects both servers.

 

When I try to use the bios.cap file from the CIMC CLI it errors out.

User Options:Remote Protocol[scp], Remote IP[172.20.128.15], Remote Path[/vmfs/volumes/805b6397-f38a498d-0000-000000000000/bios.cap]
Server (RSA) key fingerprint is 37:6e:7d:9d:4b:79:d0:1c:8f:65:5f:c4:26:86:dd:80

bios update failed to start.
Error: Bad request format

 

 

My current CIMC Firmware Running Version: 3.0(4j)

My Backup CIMC Firmware Running Version: 3.0(4l)

Boot-loader Version: 3.0(4j).36

 

The ISO I used was ucs-c220-huu-3.0.4j.iso. I also tried ucs-c220-huu-3.0.4p.iso with the same results.

 

I am able to scp the file to a different server, so I know that all of my paths are correct.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?
