Install the ILOM Firmware

1. (Optional) Make a backup of any files on the CMCs that you want to keep.

   ---

   Caution - The firmware upgrade completely erases the CMC’s file system.

   ---

2. Log into CMC0 from the serial management port.
   • If your switch is configured with only one CMC, go to Step 7.
   • If your switch is configured with two CMCs, continue to Step 3.
3. Deactivate CMC0:

   # clia deactivate 10 0
   Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
        Command executed successfully
   #

4. Verify that CMC0 is inactive:

   # clia shmstatus
   Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
   Host: "Inactive"
   #

5. Verify that eth0 has a valid active state IP address:

   # ifconfig |grep -e ’eth0’ -e ’inet’
   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:49:00:4F:B8 
        inet addr:10.60.33.20  Bcast:10.60.33.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
   .
   .
   .
   #

   Only the first two lines of output are important.

6. If invalid, set the active state IP address for CMC0:

   # ifconfig IP_address netmask 255.255.255.0

   where IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

7. Using the FTP protocol, copy the following extracted files from the host that received the .tar file to the /tmp directory of CMC0.

   • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.kernel

   • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.rfs

   • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.u-boot.bin

8. Upgrade the firmware on CMC0 from the serial management port:

   # cd /tmp
   # rupgrade_tool -s -d --k=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.kernel --r=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.rfs --u=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.u-boot.bin --proto=no --hook=erase

   The firmware is upgraded and CMC0 reboots.

9. Log into CMC0 from the serial management port.
10. Verify that the firmware has been upgraded:

    # mcmversion
    M9CM version 1.1.4
    Build time: Oct  6 2009 09:18:56
    #

11. Activate CMC0:

    # clia active 10 0
    Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
         Command issued via IPMB, status = 0 (0x0)
         Command executed successfully
    #

12. Set the active state IP address for CMC0:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 3 IP_address

    where IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

13. Set the netmask for the CMC0:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 6 netmask

    where netmask is the netmask. Typically, the netmask is 255.255.255.0.

14. Set the IP address for the CMC gateway:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 12 gateway_IP_address

    where gateway_IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

15. If your switch has two CMCs, repeat Step 2 to Step 14 for CMC1.
16. After installing the CMC firmware with ILOM support, you can upgrade the fabric card, fabric card filler, and line card firmware using the ILOM interface.
