Update Oracle ILOM Firmware (SNMP)

Language:

Before You Begin

Before you can use SNMP to view and update Oracle ILOM firmware, you must configure SNMP. For more information, see Configuring SNMP Settings in Oracle ILOM.
To execute the snmpset command, you need to use an SNMP v1 or v2c community or an SNMP v3 user with read-write (rw) privileges.
For examples of SNMP commands, see SNMP Command Examples.

Note - You can use the get and set commands to view and configure Oracle ILOM firmware settings. For a description of the MIB objects used in these commands, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

Note - The example SNMP commands presented in this section are based on the Net-SNMP sample applications and, therefore, will work as presented only if you have Net-SNMP and the Net-SNMP sample applications installed.

To update the Oracle ILOM firmware using SNMP:

Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the Oracle ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:
ssh username@snmp_manager_ipaddress

Password: password

Refer to the following SNMP command examples:
- To view the version of the current firmware image, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtVersion.0
```
- To view the build number of the current firmware image, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareBuildNumber.0
```
- To view the build date and time of the current firmware image, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareBuildDate.0
```
- To view the IP address of the TFTP server that will be used to download the firmware image, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPServerIP.0
```
- To set the IP address of the TFTP server that will be used to download the firmware image, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPServerIP.0 a ipaddress
```
- To view the relative path of the new firmware image file on the TFTP server, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPFileName.0
```
- To set the relative path of the new firmware image file on the TFTP server, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPFileName.0 s ???tftpfilename'
```
- To view the property that determines whether the previous configuration of the server should be preserved after a firmware update, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwarePreserveConfig.0
```
- To set the PreservConfig property to true so that the previous configuration of the server is preserved after a firmware update, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwarePreserveConfig.0 i 1
```
- To view the property that indicates the status of a firmware update, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtStatus.0
```
- To view the property that is used to initiate a firmware update using the values of the other firmware management properties as parameters, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0
```
- To set the property so as to initiate a firmware update using the values of the other firmware management properties as parameters, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0 i 2
```
- To clear the values of the other firmware management properties used if and when a firmware update is initiated, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0 i 1
```
- To view the version of the current firmware management file system, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtFilesystemVersion.0
```
- To view the property that is used to postpone the BIOS upgrade until the next server power-off, type:
```
% snmpget SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareDelayBIOS.0
```
- To set the DelayBIOS property to postpone the BIOS upgrade until the next server power-off, type:
```
% snmpset SNMP_agent ilomCtrlFirmwareDelayBIOS.0 i 1
```
