To use the features and fixes in subsequent firmware releases, perform To Update the Firmware.
Ensure that the ILOM service processor network management (NET MGT) port is configured.
This action is required to access the new flash image over the network. See Configuring the Service Processor Network Management Port.
Open an SSH session to connect to the service processor ILOM CLI.
% ssh root@xx.xxx.xx.x ... Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes ... Password: password (nothing displayed) Waiting for daemons to initialize...

Verify that the host is powered off.
If the host is not powered off, type the stop /SYS command.
-> stop /SYS |
Verify that the keyswitch_state parameter is set to normal.
-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=normal |
The load command updates the service processor flash image and the host firmware. The load command requires the following information:
IP address of a TFTP server on the network that can access the flash image
Full path name to the flash image that the IP address can access
The command usage is as follows:
load [-script] -source tftp://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/pathname
-script – Do not prompt for confirmation and act as if yes was specified
-source – Specifies the IP address and full path name (URI) to the flash image
-> load -source tftp://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/pathname NOTE: A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure. An upgrade takes about 6 minutes to complete. ILOM will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset. Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)? y ............................................................... Firmware update is complete. ILOM will now be restarted with the new firmware. Update complete. Reset device to use new image. -> |
After the flash image has been updated, the system will automatically reset.
The service processor resets, runs diagnostics, and returns to the login prompt (on the serial console), similar to EXAMPLE A-1.
