Sun Fire X4470 Server Product Notes

Installing Updates Using Other Methods

In addition to using Oracle System Assistant and My Oracle Support, you can install firmware and software updates using one of the following methods:

• Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center – You can use Ops Center Enterprise Controller to automatically download the latest firmware from Oracle, or firmware can be loaded manually into the Enterprise Controller. In either case, Ops Center can install the firmware onto one or more servers, blades, or blade chassis.

  For information, go to:

• Oracle Hardware Management Pack – You can use the fwupdate CLI Tool in the Oracle Hardware Management Pack software to update system firmware.

  For information, refer to the Oracle Hardware Management Pack Documentation Library at:

  https://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp/docs

• Oracle ILOM – You can use the Oracle ILOM web interface or command-line interface to update Oracle ILOM and BIOS firmware.

  Caution  -  If you use Oracle ILOM to update to system software release 1.7, do not use a file on the local server. Instead use a file on a server supporting one of the following protocols: TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. For subsequent updates (for example software release 1.7.2 or 1.8.0) you can use any supported method.
