Prior to performing the procedures in this section, the following requirements must be met:
Identify ILOM Firmware Version |
Follow these steps to identify the ILOM firmware version:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. At the command prompt, type version.
The following information appears:
SP firmware 3.0.0.1 SP firmware build number: ##### SP firmware date: Fri Nov 28 14:03:21 EDT 2008 SP filesystem version: 0.1.22 |
Download New ILOM Firmware Image |
1. Navigate to http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/index.html.
2. Expand the “Downloads” box at the right of the page, then click the “Drivers and Firmware” link.
3. Navigate to the appropriate page for your Sun server.
4. Select the “Downloads and Firmware” tab.
5. Click the “Download” link that is appropriate for your server.
Update the Firmware Image |
Note - If required by your platform, shut down your host operating system before updating the firmware on your server SP. |
1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.
2. Verify that you have network connectivity to update the firmware.
3. Type the following command to load the ILOM firmware image:
-> load -source <supported_protocol>://<server_ip>/<path_to_firmware_image>/<filename.xxx>
A note about the firmware update process followed by message prompts to load the image are displayed. The text of the note depends on your server platform.
4. At the prompt for loading the specified file, type y for yes or n for no.
The prompt to preserve the configuration appears.
For example:
Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)?
5. At the preserve configuration prompt, type y for yes or n for no.
Type y to save your existing ILOM configuration and to restore that configuration when the update process completes.
Note - Typing n at this prompt will advance you to another platform-specific prompt. |
6. Perform one of the following actions:
Do you want to force the server off if BIOS needs to be upgraded (y/n)?
a. At the prompt to postpone the BIOS update, type y for yes or n for no.
The system loads the specified firmware file then automatically reboots to complete the firmware update.
Note - The BIOS default settings cannot be preserved when updating the SP firmware. After updating the SP firmware, the default settings are automatically loaded for the new BIOS image. |
7. Reconnect to the ILOM server SP or CMM using an SSH connection and using the same user name and password that you provided in Step 1 of this procedure.
Note - If you did not preserve the ILOM configuration before the firmware update, you will need to perform the initial ILOM setup procedures to reconnect to ILOM. |
8. Verify that the proper firmware version was installed. At the CLI prompt, type:
-> version
The firmware version on the server SP or CMM should correspond with the firmware version you installed.
Recover From a Network Failure During Firmware Update |
Note - If you were performing the firmware update process and a network failure occurs, ILOM will automatically time-out and reboot the system. |
1. Address and fix the network problem.
3. Restart the firmware update process.
If you need to reset your ILOM service processor (SP), you can do so without affecting the host OS. However, resetting an SP disconnects your current ILOM session and renders the SP unmanageable during reset.
Reset ILOM SP or CMM |
1. Log in to the ILOM server SP CLI or the ILOM CMM CLI.
2. Use the reset command to boot the power on the server SP or CMM.
The SP or CMM resets and reboots.
