Workaround 1 Using Oracle ILOM Web GUI

Before You Begin

Perform the following actions before upgrading your NEM firmware:

  • Download the firmware image for your server or CMM from the platform's product web site. For details, see https://support.oracle.com.

  • Copy the firmware image to the system on which the web browser is running, using a supported protocol (TFTP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS).

  • Obtain an Oracle ILOM user name and password that has Administrator role account privileges. You must have Administrator privileges to update the firmware on the system.

  1. Restart the server and enter the BIOS screen.

    When POST messages appear, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

    Note -  You do not need to configure anything in the BIOS Setup Utility. It is used in this procedure to ensure that the NEMs are powered-on but the OS does not boot.
  2. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.

    For more details, see How to Connect to the ILOM Web Interface in Sun Fire X4800 Server Installation Guide.

  3. Select System Information –> Components.

    The Component Management page appears.

  4. Highlight NEM0.
  5. From the Actions drop-down menu, select Update Firmware.

  6. Perform the following actions:
    1. Specify the image location by performing one of the following:
      • Click Browse to select the location of the firmware image you want to install.
      • If supported on your system, click Specify URL. Then type the URL for the firmware image into the text box.
    2. Select a transfer method from the drop-down list.
    3. Click the Update button to upload the file and update the firmware.

      The Update Status display appears, providing details about the update progress. When the update indicates 100%, the firmware upload is complete.

      When the update is finished, it displays the message Firmware Update Successful. Auto-closing windows in 2 seconds, then it closes the display.

  7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for NEM1.
  8. Press ESC in the BIOS Setup Utility to boot the system.
