Guardium Firmware 8_0_0 for SR630V2 Appliances (ISO/IMG)
 
This version 8_0_0 firmware updates IBM Guardium® SR630V2 (M7) appliances with microcode security fixes and includes updates for XCC-BMC, UEFI, LXPM, Broadcom Card, and RAID 940 controllers and HDDs.
 

Before you begin
 
The SR630V2 (M7) firmware update 8_0_0 is intended to update firmware on Guardium appliances. This firmware includes multiple security vulnerabilities and updates. Administrators must download the ISO and burn it to a DVD or the workingdir directory and the Lenovo BOMC tool (lnvgy_utl_lxce_bomc01g-13.0.1_windows_x86-64).
 
The newest BOMC tool has limitations. This version is not compatible with Rufus to create an USB bootable, but it is possible to create it with the same BOMC tool.
