Firmware Update Tasks and Applicable CLI Targets

Language:

Use the following table to help identify Oracle ILOM firmware update tasks and CLI targets.

The following table does not provide the full CLI path to the /SP target on all managed devices. For instance, to access the /SP target from either a multi-domain SPARC server, a blade system CMM, or a Netra FMM, append the applicable CLI properties to the beginning of the /SP target:

SPARC multi-domain server, where applicable, append: /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_n
Blade system CMM, where applicable, append: /Servers/Blades/Blade_n
Netra frame system FMM, where applicable, append: /Servers/ComputeNodes/ComputeNode_n

Note - Not all firmware CLI targets are supported on all managed devices. Use the help command to view the namespeace targets supported on a managed device . For example,

help /SP/Firmware | help /CMM/Firmware | help /FMM/Firmware

For detailed information about how to perform Oracle ILOM firmware updates, see the topics listed in the Related Information section that appears after the table.

Firmware Tasks	CLI Properties on Managed Device	User Role Required
View system BIOS properties or update system BIOS image (x86 only).	`/System/BIOS` `system_bios_version` `boot_mode` Note - To change the BIOS boot mode, refer to the adminstration guide provided for the server. `reset_to_defaults` `/Config load_uri`	Read only (`o` Admin (`a`) for loading new image.
View the Oracle ILOM firmware version installed.	`/System/Firmware` `system_fw_version`	Read only (`o`)
Update the SP, CMM, or FMM firmware image.	`/SP\|CMM\|FMM/Firmware` `load_uri` `/host/miniroot` `/keys` `/backupimage` Note - Not all firmware update properties listed in this table are supported on all managed devices. To determine which properties are supported, use the `help` command (`help /SP\|CMM\|FMM/firmware`) Note - SPARC server platforms require the host operating system to be powered-off prior to performing the firmware update.	Admin (`a`)
View or update NEM firmware from the CMM.	`/System/Firmware/Other_Firmware/` `Firmware_n (choose an associated NEM)` `load_uri` `version` Note - NEMs that do not support service processors will not be listed under the firmware target.	Admin (`a`)
View switch firmware version from FMM.	`/System/Networking/Switches/Switch_n` `firmwmare_version`	Admin (`a`)
Update blade chassis component firmware from the legacy CLI target.	`/CH`/`BLn/SP`/`NEMn` `load_uri` Note - The host operating system on SPARC servers must be powered off before performing a firwmare update.	Admin (`a`)
