SP Firmware Related Management Tasks - As of Firmware Version 5.0

As of Oracle ILOM firmware version 5.0, system administrators can choose to perform any of the following firmware management tasks:

  • Upload a Firmware Image for Immediate Installation – Upload a firmware image from an external source to the SP for immediate installation. For instructions, see Updating Oracle ILOM Firmware.
  • Upload a Backup Image for Deferred Installation – Upload a firmware image from an external source to the SP as a backup image that can be installed at a later time. For instructions, see Upload Firmware Backup Image for Deferred Installation.

    Note:

    Alternatively, system administrators (as of firmware version 5.0) can load a backup image using the Oracle ILOM REST API. For more information, see Upload Backup Image for Deferred Installation - Using REST API in Oracle ILOM Web Service Rest API User Guide for Firmware Releases 4.x and 5.x.
  • Activate the Backup Image for Immediate Installation – Activate the firmware backup image currently stored on the SP for immediate installation. For instructions, see Activate Firmware Backup Image for Immediate Installation.
  • View the Backup Image Properties – View the firmware properties associated with the backup image such as upload date, version, and so. For instructions, see View Backup Firmware Image Properties

    Note:

    Alternatively, system administrators (as of firmware version 5.0) can view backup image properties using the Oracle ILOM REST API. For more information, see View Backup Image Properties - Using REST API in Oracle ILOM Web Service Rest API User Guide for Firmware Releases 4.x and 5.x.
