Upload the Software and Firmware Package

After downloading a software and firmware update package from My Oracle Support (MOS), and extracting the RPM files from the ZIP archive, you can stage the RPM files on the Pilot to prepare the system for the software and firmware update.

Prerequisite:
  • Place the update package on a workstation or client located on the same network as the Pilot or on a workstation located on a network that has a LAN connection speed to the Pilot of at least 100 Mb/s. The workstation must support either Oracle FS System Manager or Oracle FS CLI.

  • If the above recommendation is not possible, modify the session time-out period in the security settings of the Oracle FS System Manager to a time‑out of at least 90 minutes before staging the software. At the very minimum, the end‑to‑end connection speed should be 5 Mb/s, at which speed it will take approximately an hour to upload the software. Do not attempt to stage the software on connections that are not at least 5 Mb/s end-to-end.

  1. Navigate to Support > Software and Firmware.
  2. From the Software and Firmware page, click Upload Software Package.
  3. From the Upload Software Package dialog, click the browse button […].
  4. In the Upload Software Package dialog, navigate to the software package you downloaded, highlight it, and click Open.
  5. Click OK.
    The software package is placed onto the Pilot. When the upload is complete, the update package displays in the Staged Software and Firmware panel.
    Tip: Click Tasks on the Software and Firmware screen to view the staging progress in Oracle FS System Manager. The staging task only appears on the screen after the RPM file has been uploaded.
After staging is complete, verify that the software or firmware module and the version number of a software or firmware module match what you intended to upload.
