How to Upgrade Firmware Using the CMM ILOM CLI

Before You Begin

Download storage module firmware from the Sun software download site:

http://wikis.sun.com/display/SystemsComm/Sun+Blade+Systems+-+Firmware+Downloads

• Select the View by Category tab.

• Select the Storage link.

• Search the page for Sun Blade Storage Module M2.

• Download the latest firmware package and extract it to a accessible folder on an HTTP server on the network.

1. Open a terminal window and establish an ssh connection to the CMM by entering the following command:

   # ssh –l accountname cmm_ip

   Where accountname is the name of a user account with Administrator privileges (such as root) and cmm_ip is the IP address of the CMM.

   The login prompt is displayed.

2. Log in.

   For example:

   /hostname/login: accountname

   password: yourpassword

   After you have successfully logged in, the prompt will be displayed:

   –>

3. Change directories to the blade slot containing the storage module to be upgraded:

   –> cd /CH/BLx

   Where BLx is chassis blade slot number of the storage module to be upgraded.

4. Enter the following command:

   –> load –source http://http_server_ipaddress/firmware-version.pkg

   Where http_server_ipaddress is the domain name or IP address of your HTTP server where you copied the image file, and firmware-version is the name of the .pkg file.

5. When the process completes, ensure that the proper firmware version was installed. Enter the following command:

   -> show /CH/BLx

   The output might look like:

   /CH/BL7
