IMPORTANT - Install Latest OS Updates, Patches, and Firmware

Some product features are enabled only when the latest versions of patches or firmware are installed. In order to retain optimal performance, security, and stability, installing the latest available patches or firmware is required.

Verify that the server firmware version is at a minimum 9.5.1.b or higher.

  1. Check the system firmware:

    From the ILOM web interface, click System Information → Summary, then view the property value for the System Firmware Version in the General Information table.

    From the command prompt, type:

        -> show /HOST
      
  2. Ensure the server firmware version is at the minimum required version, shown above, or a subsequent release, if available.

  3. If required, download the latest available software release version from My Oracle Support at:

    https://support.oracle.com

  4. If required, update the server firmware.

    Refer to the information about performing firmware updates in the Oracle ILOM Administrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance. Ensure that you perform the preparatory steps described in that document before updating the firmware.
