# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 471M 276M 172M 62% / #
In this example, there are 172 MB available. If not enough space is available, you must delete or move files from the / filesystem.
# df -h /tmp Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 250M 240K 249M 1% /tmp #
In this example, there are 249 MB available. If not enough space is available, you must delete files from the /tmp directory.
# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 498 104 393 0 12 47 -/+ buffers/cache: 45 453 Swap: 0 0 0 #
In the -/+ buffers/cache: row of the free column, there should be at least 120 MB free memory. In this example, there are 453 MB available. If not enough memory is available, you must exit nonessential applications that are running.

You are now in the Oracle ILOM shell.
You can use the exit command to return to the Linux shell.
-> load -source URI/pkgname
where:
URI is the uniform resource indicator for the host where the switch firmware package is located. The FTP and HTTP protocols are supported. If you are upgrading from firmware 2.1.2-2 or newer, the TFTP protocol is also supported.
pkgname is the name of the firmware package in the transfer directory.
For example, using the HTTP protocol:
-> load -source http://123.45.67.89/tmp/sundcs_36p_repository_2.1.9_1.pkg Downloading firmware image. This will take a few minutes.
The firmware is downloaded. The upgrade begins. A caution is displayed and you are asked to commit to the upgrade.
NOTE: Firmware upgrade will upgrade the SUN DCS 36p firmware. ILOM will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No other tasks should be performed in ILOM until the firmware upgrade is complete. Subnet manager is running on the switch. Proceeding with installation will stop it. Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)?
The upgrade begins.
Setting up environment for firmware upgrade. This will take few minutes. Subnet manager has been temporarily disabled on this switch so that firmware upgrade can go on. After the upgrade is done, please make sure that the SM is running again, using commands sminfo and enablesm.
