This topic provides instructions to update Oracle F320 Flash Card NAND flash controller firmware for the host for supported Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux operating systems. Oracle F320 Flash Card firmware is updated as a single package using Oracle Hardware Management Pack utility CLI tools.
Before You Begin
Update your system to the latest software release.
Verify that the latest supported software release of Oracle Hardware Management Pack is installed on the host.
Refer to the Oracle Hardware Management Pack documentation for instructions at http://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp/docs.
Refer to the server installation guide.
# fwupdate list controller
In the following examples, Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe Card controllers c1 and c2 are enumerated in the output returned by the above command.
# fwupdate list controller ================================================== CONTROLLER ================================================== ID Type Manufacturer Model Product Name FW Version BIOS Version EFI Version FCODE Version Package Version NVDATA Version XML Support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c0 SAS LSI Logic 0x005d LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i 4.230.40-3739 6.17.04.2 06.06.10.05 4.16.08.00 - - N/A c1 NVMe Samsung 0xa821 MS1PC5ED3ORA3.2T KPYAB3RQ c2 NVMe Samsung 0xa821 MS1PC5ED3ORA3.2T KPYAB3RQ c3 NET Intel 0x1528 Intel(R) Ethernet Control - - 80000479 c4 NET Intel 0x1528 Intel(R) Ethernet Control - - 8000047A
Verify that the firmware package file that is installed in the Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe Card requires updating.
To identify NVMe controllers that need updated firmware image files, view the FW Version column in the output from the fwdupdate list controller command.
In the above example, Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe Card controllers c1 and c2 show firmware version KPYAB3RQ.
To identify NVMe controllers and current firmware versions type:
# nvmeadm list -v
In the following example, controllers SUNW-NVME-1 and SUNW-NVME-2 show Firmware Revision KPYAB3RQ in the output returned by the above command.
# nvmeadm list -v SUNW-NVME-1 PCI Vendor ID: 144d Serial Number: S2FHNYAG800126 Model Number: MS1PC5ED3ORA3.2T Firmware Revision: KPYAB3RQ Number of Namespaces: 1 SUNW-NVME-2 PCI Vendor ID: 144d Serial Number: S2FHNYAG800030 Model Number: MS1PC5ED3ORA3.2T Firmware Revision: KPYAB3RQ Number of Namespaces: 1
Verify that the firmware package file that is installed in the Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe Card requires updating.
To identify NVMe controllers that need updated firmware image files, view the Firmware Revision: line in the output from the nvmeadm list -v command.
In the above example, Oracle Flash Accelerator F320 PCIe Card controllers SUNW-NVME-1and SUNW-NVME-2 show firmware version KPYAB3RQ.
Manually quiesce I/O and device usage.
Caution - System hang or data loss. Before updating device firmware, make sure that the device is quiesced and the following events are not occurring:
|
The fwupdate command can update firmware for all similar devices in the system utilizing an XML metadata file. This method is called Automatic Mode and is the recommended method for upgrades. (See below for alternative methods.)
Caution - The XML metadata file does not update device firmware on SPARC servers. When running the fwupdate command with -x metadata.xml on SPARC servers, the update does not complete successfully and generates FMA errors. An error message may be output when the fwupdate command is executed, the command may terminate abnormally, and the device taken off-line. See Updating Oracle F320 Flash Card Device Firmware Using XML Metadata File Fails On SPARC Servers (26234240) |
An XML metadata file must be included with the firmware update package to use Automatic Mode. Refer to the update package release notes for more information.
fwupdate update controller -x metadata.xml
# fwupdate update controller -x metadata.xml The following components will be upgraded as shown: ========================================================== ID Priority Action Status Old Firmware Ver. Proposed Ver. New Firmware Ver.

[y/n]? y
If the current firmware package version on the selected drive is higher than the specified firmware package version, the command returns an error. Refer to the Oracle Hardware Management Pack documentation for error codes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp/docs.
Do you wish to process all of the above component upgrades?

[y/n]? y
Type y to reboot the system.
Refer to the server installation guide.
