SPARC System Firmware Downloads Using Solaris IPS
The latest versions of platform firmware for selected SPARC servers are now
available in the Solaris 11.3 Image Packaging System (IPS) Support Repository. System
administrators can use the pkg install command to access
the latest server platform firmware versions. The IPS firmware server packages deliver the
exact same files that are currently available for download from My
Oracle Support. The installation of the firmware packages will only place the
firmware files into the Solaris file system hierarchy. The administrator of the system must
manually run the firmware update process, and then power-cycle the server to complete the
firmware update process.
