Installing fwupdate CLI Tool

The fwupdate tool is a utility that enables you to query, update, and validate the firmware of storage devices such as HBA, expanders, and disks on Sun x64 Enterprise servers. For x86 systems, fwupdate is a component of Sun Server CLI Tools (CLI Tools), which provides command-line interface tools that configure Sun servers.
