Update the Firmware (Oracle Solaris)

Before You Begin

To use this ExpressModule with the Oracle Solaris OS, the minimum firmware version must be 2.7.8130.

1. Display the revision level of your ExpressModule.

   # firmwareflash -l -c IB

   Look for the revision number that appears after the Firmware revision string. If more than one IB-HCA device is displayed, look for the Node Image GUID that matches the GUID displayed on the physical GUID label of the IB-HCA ExpressModule being installed. See Node GUID.

   If the firmware version is not at 2.7.8130 or higher, you must update the firmware. Only update the firmware on your IB-HCA ExpressModule with files specifically approved for the Sun product.

2. Select and download approved firmware files from:

   https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.htm

3. Use the firmwareflash command to install the firmware.

   # firmwareflash -d device_path output -f firmware_bin_file

4. Reboot the system to enable the new firmware.
