Upgrade the NEM Firmware

1. Ensure that you have a network configuration in place on the NEM.

   For more information, refer to the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched NEM 24p 10GbE User's Guide.

2. (Optional) If you have not restarted the NEM as part of backing up the configuration, restart the NEM now.

   ---

   Note - The NEM might currently be low on memory. The restart frees up memory for a more reliable upgrade.

3. Use TFTP, FTP, or the Oracle ILOM web interface to copy the firmware image to your server.

   The firmware image file is Sun_Blade_6000_Ethernet_Switched_NEM_24p_10GE_sefos-1_2_2_15.pkg.

4. Answer the questions that appear on the screen as you proceed through the installation.

   This example illustrates the NEM upgrade process using FTP from a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.100.

   -> load -source ftp://username:password@192.168.1.100/Sun_Blade_6000_Ethernet_Switched_NEM_24p_10GE_sefos-1_2_2_15.pkg
    
   Downloading firmware image. This will take several minutes.
   ...
    
   NOTE: An upgrade takes about 6 minutes to complete. ILOM will
   enter a special mode to load new firmware. No other tasks
   can be performed in ILOM until the firmware upgrade is
   complete and ILOM is reset.
    
   Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
   Preserve existing configuration (y/n)? y
   Starting FW upgrade. This will take approximately 3 minutes.

   The system must be reset for the new image to be loaded
    
   -> reset /SP
   Are you sure you want to reset /SP (y/n)? y
   Performing reset on /SP
   

   If the upgrade was done while in ONET mode, you must explicitly restart ONET from Oracle ILOM after the upgrade as follows:

   -> start /NEM/onet
   Are you sure you want to start /NEM/onet (y/n)? y start:
   start: Please wait while onet comes up, this can take
   anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the 
   configuration
   ........................
   start: ONET Enabled successfully.
   

5. When the NEM reboots after the upgrade, type the version command to verify that software version is upgraded.
6. To show the system information, type these commands.

   -> cd /NEM/fs_cli/
   cd: Connecting to Fabric Switch CLI
