Prior to performing the procedures in this section, the following requirements must be met:
Identify ILOM Firmware Version |
Follow these steps to identify the firmware version:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.
2. Select System Information -->Versions.
The current firmware version information appears.
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 |
Follow these steps to update the firmware image:
1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface.
2. Select Maintenance --> Firmware Upgrade.
The Firmware Upgrade page appears.
3. In the Firmware Upgrade page, click Enter Upgrade Mode.
An Upgrade Verification dialog appears, indicating that other users who are logged in will lose their session when the update process completes.
4. In the Upgrade verification dialog, click OK to continue.
The Firmware Upgrade page appears.
5. In the Firmware Upgrade page, perform the following actions:
a. Specify the image location by performing one of the following:
b. Click the Upload button to upload and validate the file.
Wait for the file to upload and validate.
The Firmware Verification page appears.
6. In the Firmware Verification page, enable any of the following options:
Note - The “Delay BIOS upgrade” option appears only for firmware updates to ILOM 3.0 or later on x86 systems. |
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. Click Start Upgrade to start the upgrade process or click Exit to cancel the process.
When you click Start Upgrade the upload process will start and a prompt to continue the process appears.
8. At the prompt, click OK to continue.
The Update Status page appears providing details about the update progress. When the update indicates 100%, the firmware upload is complete.
When the upload completes, the system automatically reboots.
9. Reconnect to the SP (or CMM) ILOM web interface. Select System Information --> Version to verify that the firmware version on the SP or CMM corresponds to the firmware image you installed.
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. |
Recover From a Network Failure During Firmware Update |
If you were performing the firmware update process via the ILOM web interface using a local file and a network failure occurs, ILOM will automatically time-out and reboot the system.
Follow these steps to recover from a network failure during firmware update:
1. Address and fix the network problem.
3. Restart the firmware update process.
Reset ILOM SP |
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.
1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface.
2. Select Maintenance --> Reset SP.
The Reset Service Processor page appears
ILOM reboots. The web interface is unavailable while ILOM reboots.
