Over time, Oracle updates the firmware and OSA software.

Updates are available as a software release. Software releases contain all the firmware, hardware drivers, and utilities for the server. All of these items are tested together. A README document is provided with each software release. The README explains what has changed and what has not changed from the prior software release.
