Run a Script Before Updating Firmware on Sun Fire X4100/X4200/X4600 Platforms

If you are running older versions of firmware on Sun Fire X4100/X4200/X4600 platforms and want to update firmware to the current level, you must first run a pre-flash upgrade script on all affected servers. Refer to the chapter “Flash Upgrading Your Server to Release 1.1” at http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/819-1162-17/ to determine if your servers are affected.

N1 System Manager provides a script that will automatically perform the following actions:

Examine all discovered servers.
Determine the servers that require pre-flash upgrade.
Run the pre-flash upgrade script on each affected server.

The location of the script is /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/updateall.

After this script has been successfully applied to all the affected servers, you can update the firmware using N1 System Manager. Refer to the Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Operating System Provisioning Guide for instructions.
