Conversation
Add a generic, site-independent upgrade path for BlueField DPUs that are already provisioned and running, alongside the existing initial-install toolchain. One upgrade ISO serves a fleet of DPUs in mixed states; the validated on-server install scripts are reused verbatim (dpuinstall.sh is sourced, not modified), so the install path needs no re-qualification. - upgrade/build-dpu-upgrade-iso.sh: builds dpu_upgrade_<ver>.iso/.zip with no site config; --include-startup-yaml embeds saved configs for DPU replacement (host has no network with a blank DPU) - upgrade/on-server/upgrade-install.sh: installs to /var/lib/dpu-upgrade/, version-aware host package upgrade (bfb-install/rshim match the firmware being flashed) with apt dependency resolution and --skip-package-upgrade - upgrade/on-server/upgrade-dpu-fw.sh: backs up the live startup.yaml and p0 MAC before anything destructive, then flashes and redeploys HBN with the saved config. Config source is exactly one of --ssh-key, --auth password (interactive, never on a command line), or --startup-yaml-file (no DPU login; recovery/replacement). Existing provisioning credentials are refreshed from the ISO with SSH-key continuity; the DPU's ubuntu password is kept by default (--replace-ubuntu-password / --regenerate-dpu-credentials to change). Broken credential state fails fast with the exact recovery command. - upgrade/on-server/upgrade-post-power-cycle.sh: verifies the HBN container and that the p0 MAC is unchanged; never writes netplan - docs: operator guide (upgrade/README.md) and design rationale with a QA failure-point matrix (upgrade/design-discussion.md) - unit tests for MAC parsing/comparison and SSH option handling Closes NVIDIA#5454
Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAdds a generic DPU firmware upgrade toolchain. It builds portable upgrade bundles, installs host-side tooling, preserves live DPU configuration, performs resumable upgrades, validates the p0 MAC after reboot, and documents recovery procedures. ChangesDPU firmware upgrade
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new DPU upgrade path can connect to an unverified replacement endpoint, accept an older host package after installation failure, expose credential material in logs, lose SSH recovery credentials, and falsely validate a changed network identity; its documented artifact flow also omits supported archive forms and uses an insecure package URL. These concrete security, correctness, and recovery risks make the PR unsafe to merge until addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

On the first run for a DPU replacement, --startup-yaml-file is selected after the replacement card is already installed, so this records the replacement card's MAC as the pre-upgrade value. The post-power-cycle script then compares that MAC with the same replacement card and reports that existing netplan remains valid, even though netplan still references the departed DPU and host networking remains broken. Preserve the old MAC from the existing netplan/backup, or make replacement mode require a netplan update instead of allowing this false success.

When the DPU's ubuntu password has been rotated since initial provisioning, _dpu_ssh_bf_prepared still contains the original ISO hash, not the password currently installed on the DPU. Copying this line into the new bf.cfg silently reverts the password during an ordinary upgrade despite the documented default of keeping the existing password, potentially locking operators out of password authentication. Capture the live hash during the pre-upgrade backup or expose the reset explicitly rather than treating the stale host file as current state.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If post-upgrade MAC detection fails or the detected MAC differs, this earlier update_progress 11 leaves CUR_STEP equal to FINAL_STEP; the cleanup EXIT trap therefore prints DPU install steps completed successfully after the script has emitted an error and exited nonzero. This contradictory terminal/log output can lead an operator to treat a host with invalid netplan as successfully upgraded, so defer the final progress update until after the MAC check.

Make --ssh-key and --auth mutual exclusion order-independent.
--auth rejects a previously set AUTH_MODE, but --ssh-key does not. --auth password --ssh-key /path/key therefore silently selects key auth and discards the operator's stated intent.

Suppress xtrace around the password-hash handling.
Line 371 enables set -x before refresh_prepared_bf_cfg runs. Line 342 puts the ubuntu_PASSWORD= line into old_pw_line, and line 344 passes it to awk -v repl=. The tracer writes both to fd 2, which is appended to upgrade.log (line 95). The DPU password hash therefore lands in a plaintext log created with the ambient umask, and operators frequently attach that log to support bundles.
Disable xtrace for this block and create the log file with restrictive permissions.

Guard the credential wipe on the resume path.
refresh_prepared_bf_cfg protects resumes with TOUCHFILE_BFB_UPDATED (line 310), but this rm -rf does not. Consider a rerun with the same command line after the flash succeeded and a later stage failed:
- Run 1 flashes the DPU with key K2 and creates
TOUCHFILE_BFB_UPDATED. - Run 2 deletes
/root/.dpu_provision, so K2 is lost from the host. dpu_ssh_preparegenerates K3, butinstall_bfbis skipped because the flash touchfile exists.- The DPU still authorizes K2 only. Key access is unrecoverable without another flash.
The --regenerate-dpu-credentials recovery command in the help text and in _cred_recovery_help is exactly the command an operator repeats after a failure, so this path is reachable.

The installer omits *.zip and *.tar, while build-dpu-upgrade-iso.sh validates and stages doca_container_configs.zip. The installation therefore drops this artifact from the persistent working directory. Add the plain suffixes and retain the dpu_upgrade_*.zip* exclusion.

Preserve the original p0 MAC backup.
When the MAC changes, Line 106 instructs the operator to overwrite backup/p0_mac. A rerun then compares the current MAC with itself and reports success. This destroys the required pre-flash backup and hides the mismatch.
Keep backup/p0_mac immutable. Store an explicit acknowledgement or replacement MAC in separate state, and retain the original value for audit and recovery.

Use one coherent DOCA release in the build command.
Line 59 declares DOCA 3.2.2, but Line 64 downloads doca-host_2.10.0. The builder does not validate this relationship. The installer reads the .deb metadata and can install DOCA host tooling at 2.10.0 into a bundle labeled as 3.2.2.
Use a doca-host package that matches --doca-version, or change all coupled release values to the intended compatible set.

apt-get --fix-broken install can leave an already installed package at its previous version after dpkg -i failure apt documentation
💡 Result:
The apt-get --fix-broken (or -f) option is designed to attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies [1][2]. According to official APT documentation, when this option is used, APT analyzes the existing broken state and attempts to deduce a solution to restore the system to a consistent state [1][3]. There is no documentation stating that --fix-broken explicitly ignores or prevents version updates, nor does it inherently cause a package to remain at a previous version if that version is incompatible with the dependency requirements being resolved [1][4]. If an installation or upgrade process fails (e.g., during the dpkg configuration phase), the package may remain in a partially installed or unconfigured state. When --fix-broken is subsequently invoked, APT will attempt to complete the installation or configuration of those packages to satisfy dependencies [1][2]. If a package remains at its previous version, it is typically because the dependency resolution logic determined that keeping the existing version is the correct way to satisfy the system's requirements, or because the attempted update was not successfully marked as the desired state in the APT cache prior to the dpkg failure [1][4]. APT’s primary goal is to reach a consistent, valid dependency state, not necessarily to force an upgrade if it is not required or possible [1]. If the dependency structure is too corrupt to be resolved automatically by --fix-broken, manual intervention—such as using dpkg --remove—may be required to eliminate the offending packages [1][5].

Verify the final installed package version.
After dpkg -i "$deb" fails, apt-get --fix-broken repairs dependency state but does not require $deb as the selected version. If it leaves an older $pkg installed, the status check succeeds and line 143 logs it as verified. Compare the final Version: with $deb_ver and reject older versions.

OpenSSH ssh_config StrictHostKeyChecking accept-new UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null official manual
💡 Result:
In OpenSSH, the configuration options StrictHostKeyChecking and UserKnownHostsFile control how the client interacts with host keys and the known_hosts database [1][2]. According to the official ssh_config(5) manual, these options function as follows: StrictHostKeyChecking This option controls whether ssh(1) automatically adds new host keys to the user's known_hosts file and how it reacts to host key changes [1][3]. - accept-new: When set to this value, ssh will automatically add new host keys to the user's known_hosts file, but will still refuse to connect to hosts whose host keys have changed [1][4]. - Other values include yes (never automatically add keys, refuse changed keys), no (automatically add new keys and allow changed keys), and ask (the default; prompt the user before adding new keys and refuse changed keys) [1][5]. UserKnownHostsFile This option specifies the file(s) to use for the user host key database [2]. By default, OpenSSH uses ~/.ssh/known_hosts and ~/.ssh/known_hosts2 [2]. Setting this to /dev/null effectively instructs the SSH client to ignore the known_hosts file entirely, meaning it will not read from or write any host keys to a persistent file [6]. Combining these options (e.g., StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new and UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null) is a common pattern for specific use cases, such as automated environments or ephemeral connections where you wish to avoid "unknown host" prompts while maintaining protection against host key changes (MITM attacks) for hosts already seen in the current session, without persisting those keys to disk [6]. These technical details are sourced directly from the OpenSSH ssh_config(5) manual pages maintained by the OpenBSD project [3][7][8].

Persist the DPU host key before password authentication.
build_upgrade_ssh_opts passes StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new and UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null to the ssh invocation. OpenSSH accepts the unknown key, then discards it. When no matching key exists elsewhere, a later connection can trust a replacement DPU key and prompt for the password on that unverified endpoint. Use an upgrade-specific known-hosts file with strict checking, or require operator verification of the DPU host-key fingerprint.

Add a generic, site-independent upgrade path for BlueField DPUs that are already provisioned and running, alongside the existing initial-install toolchain. One upgrade ISO serves a fleet of DPUs in mixed states; the validated on-server install scripts are reused verbatim (dpuinstall.sh is sourced, not modified), so the install path needs no re-qualification.
upgrade/build-dpu-upgrade-iso.sh: builds dpu_upgrade_.iso/.zip with no site config; --include-startup-yaml embeds saved configs for DPU replacement (host has no network with a blank DPU)
upgrade/on-server/upgrade-install.sh: installs to /var/lib/dpu-upgrade/, version-aware host package upgrade (bfb-install/rshim match the firmware being flashed) with apt dependency resolution and --skip-package-upgrade
upgrade/on-server/upgrade-dpu-fw.sh: backs up the live startup.yaml and p0 MAC before anything destructive, then flashes and redeploys HBN with the saved config. Config source is exactly one of --ssh-key, --auth password (interactive, never on a command line), or --startup-yaml-file (no DPU login; recovery/replacement). Existing provisioning credentials are refreshed from the ISO with SSH-key continuity; the DPU's ubuntu password is kept by default (--replace-ubuntu-password / --regenerate-dpu-credentials to change). Broken credential state fails fast with the exact recovery command.
upgrade/on-server/upgrade-post-power-cycle.sh: verifies the HBN container and that the p0 MAC is unchanged; never writes netplan
