How to Verify the Oracle ILOM and BIOS Firmware Versions Using the Command Line Interface

1. Using a client system, access a command line and establish a Secure Shell (SSH) connection using a user account with Administrator privileges and the server's service processor IP address. For example:

   ssh user_name@sp_ip_address

   If you are logging into Oracle ILOM for the first time, see Connecting to Oracle ILOM in Sun Server X2-8 (formerly Sun Fire X4800 M2) Installation Guide for more information.

2. To view the Oracle ILOM version information, type:

   version

   This command returns output similar to the following:

   SP firmware 2.0.2.16
   SP firmware build number: 42063
   SP firmware date: Mon Feb  9 22:45:34 PST 2009
   SP filesystem version: 0.1.16

3. To view the BIOS version, type:

   show /SYS/BIOS

   The command returns output similar to the following:

    /SYS/BIOS
       Targets:
   
       Properties:
       type = BIOS
       ipmi_name = BIOS
       fru_name = SYSTEM BIOS
       fru_manufacturer = AMERICAN MEGATRENDS
       fru_version = 11016600
   ... fru_part_number = AMIBIOS8
   
       Commands:
       cd
       show

   The fru_version field contains the BIOS version number.

4. Note the Oracle ILOM and BIOS versions on the Firmware Versions Worksheet.
