How to Update the Fallback Image

Language:

This procedure applies to those systems that have service processors (SPs) with the fallback miniroot installed. Whenever you update to an SRU version on the host, you must also update the fallback image.

Note - The fallback image's Readme file also provides the same instructions for updating the fallback image. Make sure to refer to that document for additional information related to the image.

Access your MOS account at https://support.oracle.com.
On the support web page, search for Doc ID 2045311.1 (Oracle Solaris 11.3 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index ). This index lists the different SRU versions with links to their corresponding fallback boot images.
Download the SRU version's fallback image.

At the ILOM prompt, check the version of the current image to verify that you do not have the latest version installed already.

-> show /SP/firmware/host/miniroot version

  /SP/firmware/host/miniroot
    Properties:
        version = fallback-5.11-0.175.2.9.0.5.0

At the ILOM prompt, update the fallback image.

                  
-> load -source  http://webserver.example.com/fallback/fallback.pkg
