We are running a x3550 M3 with Ubuntu and we wanted to enable AES-NI functionality. First, we checked whether it was enabled already by executing:
# grep aes /proc/cpuinfo
However, no aes flags appeared. Thus, we thought that it could be enabled in BIOS. However, no parameter was listed that would allow us to enable AES-NI. We thus updated the BIOS fimware using BoMC to the latest version. Again, no BIOS entry was listed regarding AES, also /proc/cpuinfo showed the same results.
How is it possible to enable AES-NI on this server?
.
from the command!
