Download Firmware and Software Using My Oracle Support
The preboot menu allows you to recover an Oracle ILOM firmware image by updating (flashing) the SP firmware.
This file is available on the Oracle MOS download site.
Note - Updating the SP firmware using the preboot menu requires a .flash file instead of the .pkg file used to update the SP from Oracle ILOM.
Refer to the Sun Blade X3-2B (formerly Sun Blade X6270 M3) Administration Guide for detailed preboot menu and Oracle ILOM information.
Choose one of the following methods:
Press the Locate button during the SP boot process. See Managing the Locate LED.
Wait for a pause in the bootstrap process, and then type xyzzy .
The preboot prompt appears.
Preboot>
net flash IPaddress path/name.flash
Where IPaddress is the IP address of a TFTP server,
path is the path to the file relative to /tftpboot.
name is the first part of the .flash file name.
For example:
Preboot> net flash 10.8.173.25 images/system-rom.flash
After a series of messages, the preboot prompt appears.
Preboot>
Preboot> reset
The preboot menu exits and Oracle ILOM boots.
