Update NEM Firmware Using the CLI

1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM CMM CLI.
2. Use the cd command to navigate to the NEM requiring the firmware update.

   For example:

   cd /CH/NEM#

   Where # is the slot location where the NEM is installed in the chassis.

   If your chassis system does not support multiple NEMs and one NEM is supported, the NEM location would equal 0. For this example, you would type:

   cd /CH/NEM0

3. Type the show command to view the NEM properties and the firmware version presently installed on the NEM.

   For example, see the NEM show property output below for the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GE NEM M2.

   Note - The fru_extra_1= property field identifies the firmware version presently installed on the NEM.

           cd
           load
           reset
           set
           show

4. Use the load command to upload and install the firmware update package on the NEM.

   For example, you would type:

   load_uri=uri

   Where uri equals the URI transfer method and location of the firmware package.

   See the following CLI load examples for each supported file transfer method

   ---

   Note - Recommended file transfer protocols to use for uploading the firmware image are: HTTP, FTP, or SFTP.

   ---

   
   

   Transfer Method CLI load Command Examples TFTP load_uri=tftp://ip_address/rom_nem.pkg FTP load_uri=ftp://username:password@ip_address/rom_nem.pkg SCP load_uri=scp://username:password@ip_address/rom_nem.pkg HTTP load_uri=http://username:password@ip_address/rom_nem.pkg HTTPS load_uri=https://username:password@ip_address/rom_nem.pkg SFTP load_uri=sftp://username:password@ip_address/rom_nem.pkg

   Where:

   • password is the login password to the system where the file is stored.

   • username is the login user name to the system where the file is stored.

   • rom_nem.pkg is the name of the firmware update package.

   • ip_address is the IP address of the system where the file is stored.

   The user name and password for HTTP and HTTPS are optional.

   ---

   Note - Alternatively, you can use the set and load commands in the Oracle ILOM CLI to specify the path of the NEM location, as well as the location of the firmware update package to upload. For example: set /CH/NEM#/load_uri=uri

   ---

5. Wait a few moments for Oracle ILOM to confirm the completion of the firmware update process.

   A success or failure status appears.

6. Use the show command to view and confirm the firmware version that is installed on the NEM.
