Install Firmware Updates on Provisionable Servers

Installing a firmware update on a managed server for the first time is a two-step process:

1. Copy the firmware update into the N1 System Manager. The N1 System Manager must have system access to the firmware update before the update can be installed on the managed servers.

   The create firmware command enables you to copy a firmware update from a web site or an accessible file system on the management server. Once a firmware update is copied to the management server, you can display it in the browser interface under Task Shortcuts, or you can use the show firmware command.

2. Install the firmware update on the appropriate managed servers by using the browser interface or the load server or load group commands.

For a list of qualified managed server firmware versions, see Manageable Server Firmware Requirements in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Site Preparation Guide.

For firmware update procedures, see Chapter 6, Managing Firmware SP, BIOS, and ALOM Updates, in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Operating System Provisioning Guide.
