Update the Firmware (Oracle Solaris)

Before You Begin

To use this adapter with the Solaris OS, the minimum firmware version must be 2.11.1280.

1. Display the revision level of your adapter.

   # fwflash -l -c IB

   Look for the revision number that appears after the Firmware revision string. If more than one IB-HCA device is displayed, look for the Node Image GUID that matches the GUID displayed on the physical GUID label of the adapter being installed. See Node GUID.

   If the firmware version is not at 2.11.1280 or higher, you must update the firmware. Only update the firmware on your adapter with files specifically approved for the product.

2. Select and download approved firmware files from My Oracle Support at:

   https://support.oracle.com/

3. Use the fwflash command to install the firmware.

   # fwflash -d device-path-of-IB-adapter -f firmware-image-file

4. Reboot the system to enable the new firmware.
