Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2530 M4 iRMC ASP for Ubuntu

Although Fujitsu does not officially support iRMC Firmware Update ASP for Linux on Ubuntu, you can use ASP to update iRMC firmware. I know some customers prefer using in-band firmware update method over using iRMC (or out-of-band), so having an ASP to update iRMC on Ubuntu would be helpful for those customers.

By default, do_SelectTool.sh in the ASP is using /bin/sh. On Ubuntu, /bin/sh is dash by default, so the script will fail. To avoid this, you just need to change the script shell from /bin/sh to /bin/bash. Then repackage it to scexe.

To extract the contents from an ASP file, use the '-e' option

$ ./RX2530M4_MangtCtr_FW0263P_SDR352.scexe -e

Then modify do_SelectTool.sh, and package it again to scexe. The only difference between the original and the modified is as follows:

$ diff -Naur work_irmc_2.63p_asp.orig/ work_irmc_2.63p_asp/
diff -Naur work_irmc_2.63p_asp.orig/do_SelectTool.sh work_irmc_2.63p_asp/do_SelectTool.sh

I tested iRMC ASP for Linux 2.49P and 2.63P for RX2530 M4 running Ubuntu. Below is an example for RX2530 M4 iRMC ASP 2.63P for Linux on Ubuntu 16.04. The scexe file is a modified version of RX2530M4_MangtCtr_FW0263P_SDR352.scexe.
