System software release 2.1.0 is associated with the Oracle ILOM firmware version 4.0.4.22, as well as the latest OS support updates and patches. Newer Oracle ILOM firmware versions have a higher number or a letter added. For example, the system firmware version property in Oracle ILOM might be associated with 4.0.4.22.a.
Some product features are enabled only when the latest versions of patches and firmware are installed. To retain optimal system performance, security, and stability, you must install the latest operating system, patches, and firmware.
