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
Note - Updating the SP firmware using the preboot menu requires a .flash file instead of the .pkg file used to update the SP from ILOM.
For more information, refer to Accessing the Preboot Menu.
Preboot> net dhcp
This configures a DHCP network. You need to be network connected to access to your tftp server.
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.
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.
Preboot> reset
The preboot menu exits and service processor reboots.
