Provisionable Server Firmware

This section provides the list of supported provisionable server firmware versions, and procedures for verifying, downloading, and updating the provisionable server firmware.

The following table lists supported firmware versions by machine type.

To verify a provisionable server's firmware version, proceed as described in To List the Firmware Updates Installed on a Provisionable Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Administration Guide.

If the firmware version cannot be reported by the N1 System Manager, one or all of the following situations might be the cause:

• The IP address of the provisionable server's management processor has not been set, and thus the server cannot be discovered.

  Check whether the management processor IP address has been set and, if it has been set, whether it is accessible by the N1 System Manager.

  If the management processor IP address is not correct, assign an IP address to the processor as directed by the hardware documentation.

  If the IP address is correct, go to the next item in this list.

• The provisionable server's management processor account credentials (login account and password) are not recognized by the N1 System Manager. Check the credentials used by the N1 System Manager, and then try accessing the provisionable server's management processor account. For information about the processor accounts, see Discovery of Servers in the Factory Default State.

  If you cannot access the management processor, reset the provisionable server to the factory defaults as directed by the hardware documentation, and reassign an IP address to the provisionable server's management processor. When you have completed resetting the provisionable server, run discovery on the server as described in Discovering Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Administration Guide.

  If discovery is successful, verify the firmware version as described in To List the Firmware Updates Installed on a Provisionable Server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Administration Guide. If the firmware version still cannot be reported by the N1 System Manager, update the firmware to a supported version as directed by the hardware documentation.
