Getting Server Firmware and Software
Firmware and Software Access Options
Available Software Release Packages
Servers with serial numbers in the ranges listed below, might have shipped from the factory with unprogrammed Oracle System Assistant USB drives installed. By default, the drives are installed in every Sun Blade X3–2B server and programmed with a bootable package of server-specific tools, drivers, software, and firmware. However, for the potentially affected servers, the installed drives might not have been programmed and are not bootable. To verify the USB drive, attempt to launch (boot) Oracle System Assistant.
The ranges of potentially affected serial numbers:
1301FMY003-1301FMY009
1301FMY00A–1301FMY00R
1302FMY002–1302FMY009

Use this procedure to determine if the server USB drive can launch Oracle System Assistant and restore the drive, if necessary.
Workaround:
For more information, refer to Access Oracle System Assistant in Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Administration Guide.
If Oracle System Assistant launches, the server USB drive is programmed and no further action is required.
