How to Recover the SP Firmware Image

Before You Begin

You must have a valid .flash SP firmware image file on a tftp server. In addition, the tftp server must be accessible over a network connection to your server's SP. This file is available on the tools and drivers DVD (under the sp_firmware directory) , and on the Oracle download site: http://www.oracle.com/goto/blades

1. Access the Preboot Menu.

   For more information, refer to Accessing the Preboot Menu.

2. At the preboot prompt, enter the command:

   Preboot> net dhcp

   This configures a DHCP network. You need to be network connected to access to your tftp server.

3. Enter the command:

   Preboot> net ping tftpIPaddress

   Where tftpIPaddress is the IP address of a tftp server.

   This checks to see if the tftp server is accessible over the network.

4. Enter the command:

   Preboot> net flash tftpIPaddress path/ILOM-version-Sun_Blade_X6275M2.flash

   Where:

   • tftpIPaddress is the IP address of a tftp server

   • path is the path to the file relative to /tftpboot

   • version is the version of SP firmware

   For example:

   Preboot> net flash 10.8.173.25 images/ILOM-3_0_10_15_r58871-Sun_Blade_X6275M2.flash

   This downloads and flashes the firmware image. After a series of messages, the preboot prompt appears.

5. Restart the SP by entering the command:

   Preboot> reset

   The preboot menu exits and service processor reboots.
