Install the Switch Updates

---

Caution  - If the switch is being upgraded from the 1.0.0 release, then you must perform this upgrade using only the Oracle ILOM CLI. Using the web interface with the URL or file browser method results in an incomplete upgrade as noted in Firmware Upgrade With the Web UI is Incomplete (7022295).

---

1. Ensure that you have a network configuration in place on the switch.

   For more information, refer to the Sun Network 10GbE Switch 72p User's Guide.

2. (Optional) If you have not restarted the switch as part of backing up the configuration, restart the switch now.

   ---

   Note - The switch might currently be low on memory. The restart frees up memory for a more reliable upgrade.

3. Use TFTP, FTP, or the Oracle ILOM web interface to copy the firmware image to your server.
4. Answer the questions that appear on the screen as you proceed through the installation.

   The following example illustrates the switch upgrade process using FTP from a server with an IP address of 192.168.1.100.

   -> cd /SP/firmware/
   /SP/firmware
   -> load -source ftp://username:password@192.168.1.100/Sun_Network_10GbE_Switch_72p_sefos-1_2_2_17.pkg
   Downloading firmware image. This will take several minutes.
   ..
   NOTE: 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.

   Note - If the hostname was not set prior to upgrade, the switch displays SUNSP-unknown in the login prompt. You must reset the switch a second time to clear this condition.

5. When the switch reboots after the upgrade, type the version command to verify that software version is upgraded.
6. To show the system information, type these commands.
