Install the ILOM Firmware


Note - If your switch is configured with only one CMC, that CMC is identified as CMC0 for this procedure. Additionally, this procedure brings the CMC offline until after the upgrade is completed.


  1. (Optional) Make a backup of any files on the CMCs that you want to keep.


    Caution

    Caution - The firmware upgrade completely erases the CMC’s file system.


  2. Log into CMC0 from the serial management port.

    • If your switch is configured with only one CMC, go to Step 7.

    • If your switch is configured with two CMCs, continue to Step 3.

  3. Deactivate CMC0:

    # clia deactivate 10 0
    Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
         Command executed successfully
    #
  4. Verify that CMC0 is inactive:

    # clia shmstatus
    Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
    Host: "Inactive"
    #
  5. Verify that eth0 has a valid active state IP address:

    # ifconfig |grep -e ’eth0’ -e ’inet’
    eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:49:00:4F:B8 
         inet addr:10.60.33.20  Bcast:10.60.33.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
    .
    .
    .
    #

    Only the first two lines of output are important.

  6. If invalid, set the active state IP address for CMC0:

    # ifconfig IP_address netmask 255.255.255.0

    where IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

  7. Using the FTP protocol, copy the following extracted files from the host that received the .tar file to the /tmp directory of CMC0.

    • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.kernel

    • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.rfs

    • SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.u-boot.bin

  8. Upgrade the firmware on CMC0 from the serial management port:

    # rm -R /etc/ssh
    # cd /tmp
    # rupgrade_tool -s -d --k=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.kernel --r=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.rfs --u=SUN_DCS_648_CMC__v1.1.4.u-boot.bin --proto=no --hook=erase

    The firmware is upgraded and CMC0 reboots.

  9. Log into CMC0 from the serial management port.

  10. Verify that the firmware has been upgraded:

    # mcmversion
    M9CM version 1.1.4
    Build time: Oct  6 2009 09:18:56
    #
  11. Activate CMC0:

    # clia active 10 0
    Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
         Command issued via IPMB, status = 0 (0x0)
         Command executed successfully
    #
  12. Set the active state IP address for CMC0:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 3 IP_address

    where IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

  13. Set the netmask for the CMC0:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 6 netmask

    where netmask is the netmask. Typically, the netmask is 255.255.255.0.

  14. Set the IP address for the CMC gateway:

    # clia setlanconfig 1 12 gateway_IP_address

    where gateway_IP_address is in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

  15. If your switch has two CMCs, repeat Step 2 to Step 14 for CMC1.

  16. After installing the CMC firmware with ILOM support, you can upgrade the fabric card, fabric card filler, and line card firmware using the ILOM interface.

    See Upgrading the Switch Firmware Through ILOM (CLI).
