Upgrade the Bootloader (Oracle Solaris)

When you upgrade your firmware, ensure that your bootloader uses the minimum version of 0.036. If it does not, upgrade your bootloader.

The bootloader is part of the patch bundle on My Oracle Support.

1. Use the fwflash -l command to determine which bootloader version you have.

   # fwflash -l
   Device[200] /devices/pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@8/pciex108e,2088@0:devctl
   Driver psif
   Class [IB]
   GUID : System Image                     - 0010e07a9ba00007
        Node Image                         - 0010e07a9ba00004
        Port 1                             - 0010e07a9ba00005
        Port 2                             - 0010e07a9ba00006
   Firmware Revision                       : 0.067 Mon Jun 13  11:46:36 2016
   Bootloader                              : 0.036
   Wed Feb                                10 22:01:34 2016
   Vendor Id                               : ORACLE
   HW Revision                             : 3
   Device  Id                              :2088
   Description                             : Titan QSFP Infiniband HCA
   

2. If the version is not a minimum of 0.036, use the fwflash -d command to upgrade to the new bootloader.

   #   fwflash -d dev-id -f  bootloader-img file
   
   

   For example:

   #fwflash -d /devices/pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@8/pciex108e,2088@0:devctl   -f titan-psif-bbimage-0.036.bin
