Unable to flash firmware on IBM OpenPower S822LC for Big Data, model 8001-12C

[whowutwut]

Also known as Stratton Boxes with model code: 8001-12C

The issue here is that it goes into the OpenPower "for HPC" code path which expects a HPM file instead of the .pnor/.bin files. The issue is:

[root@c910f02c05p03 OP825]# rflash stratton01 -d v2.20_BMC1.27
Error: [c910f02c05p03]: stratton01: The image file doesn't match this machine

The message comes out here:

2099         # step 3 power on
2100         $cmd = $pre_cmd . " chassis power on";
2101         $output = xCAT::Utils->runcmd($cmd, -1);
2102         if ($::RUNCMD_RC != 0) {
2103             $exit_with_error_func->($sessdata->{node}, $callback,
2104                 "Running ipmitool command $cmd failed: $output");
2105         }
2106
2107         $exit_with_success_func->($sessdata->{node}, $callback, "Firmware updated, powering chassis on to populate FRU information...     ");
2108     }
2109
2110     if (($hpm_data_hash{deviceID} ne $sessdata->{device_id}) ||
2111         ($hpm_data_hash{productID} ne $sessdata->{prod_id}) ||
2112         ($hpm_data_hash{manufactureID} ne $sessdata->{mfg_id})) {
2113         $exit_with_error_func->($sessdata->{node}, $callback,
2114             "The image file doesn't match this machine");
2115     }

But this code path is for OpenPower (non Supermicro) boxes... with HPM firmware files.

The problem is that in this clause, the model was missed:

1976
1977     # For IBM Power S822LC for Big Data (Supermicro) machines such as
1978     # P9 Boston (9006-22C, 9006-12C, 5104-22C) or P8 Briggs (8001-22C)
1979     # firmware update is done using pUpdate utility expected to be in the
1980     # specified data directory along with the update files .bin for BMC or .pnor for Host
1981     if ($output =~ /8001-22C|9006-22C|5104-22C|9006-12C/) {
1982         # Verify valid data directory was specified
1983

Briggs boxes 8001-22C is there, but not 8001-12C, will create a Pull Request
