Firmware Update Tasks and Applicable CLI Targets

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 a multi-domain SPARC server append the applicable CLI properties to the beginning of the /SP target:

  • SPARC multi-domain server, where applicable, append: /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_n

Note:

Use the help command to view the namespace targets supported on a server SP . For example, help /SP/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.
