Oracle^® Server X7-2 Product Notes

Important – Install Latest OS Updates, Patches, and Firmware

Some product features are enabled only when the latest versions of operating system, patches, and firmware are installed. To retain optimal system performance, security, and stability, you must install the latest available operating system, patches, and firmware. Find the latest firmware for your system here: Latest Firmware Releases for Oracle X86 Servers

To verify that the Oracle ILOM firmware version is a minimum 4.0.4.52 or newer:

1. Use Oracle ILOM to verify the system firmware version.
   • From the web interface, click System Information → Summary, then view the property information for the System Firmware Version in the General Information table.
   • From the command-line interface, at the command prompt (->), type: show /System/Firmware

   For more details, refer to information about viewing system information and inventory in your server Administration Guide, which is available at https://www.oracle.com/goto/x86admindiag/docs.

2. Ensure that the firmware version is at the minimum required version, noted above, or a subsequent release, if available.
3. If the required firmware version (or newer) is not installed:
   1. Download the latest Software Release from My Oracle Support at https://support.oracle.com.

      For more information, see Getting Firmware and Software Updates.

   2. Install the downloaded firmware.

      See Update System Firmware Using Oracle ILOM.

      Refer to the information about performing firmware updates in the Oracle ILOM Administrators Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 4.0.x, which is available at https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs. Ensure that you perform the preparatory steps described in that document before updating the firmware.
