Update or Install System Drivers

Oracle System Assistant installs most supported drivers during the OS installation process. To install or update individual drivers or to update all drivers after the OS installation, use the .rpm file or the Linux OS InstallPack application, respectively. The InstallPack application and the .rpm files are available with the Oracle System Assistant software on the internal USB stick and the downloaded OS-specific software package.

1. Determine a method to access supported drivers:
   • If your system has Oracle System Assistant:
     1. From the OS, navigate to the Oracle System Assistant USB device.

        The USB device is named: ORACLE_SSM

     2. Navigate to the Linux OS folder using the following path structure:

        Linux/OS_name/version

        where OS_name is the installed OS as OL (Oracle Linux), RHEL (Red Hat), or SLES (SUSE), and version is the version of the installed Linux OS.

   • If your system does not have Oracle System Assistant:
     1. Download the latest server system tools and drivers package from the My Oracle Support site.

        For more information, refer to: Getting Server Firmware and Software Updates in Sun Blade X4-2B Installation Guide .

     2. Unzip the downloaded tools and drivers package to the server.
     3. Within the unzipped directory file system, navigate to the Linux OS InstallPack folder:

        Linux/OS_name/version/InstallPack

        where OS_name is the installed OS as OL (Oracle Linux), RHEL (Red Hat), or SLES (SUSE), and version is the version of the installed Linux OS.

2. Do one of the following:
   • To update or install all supported drivers, navigate to the InstallPack directory and run the InstallPack.py file.

     Linux/OS_name/version/InstallPack

     Follow the InstallPack application instructions to complete the driver update.

   • To update or install other drivers, navigate to the driver directory and double-click the .rpm files.

     Linux/OS_name/version/Drivers/driver where driver is the directory name containing the driver.
