Using SIA to Upgrade System Firmware

SIA displays the current version(s) and the available upgrade version for discovered HBAs.

Note – If you selected the Remote Update feature (described in “How to Start SIA and Prepare for Tasks Using Local or Remote Media” on page 16), SIA will have obtained the latest code from the Sun software download site.

3Select the identified controller(s)/HBAs to upgrade by placing a check mark in the Upgrade box.

Note – Sun recommends that in a multi-controller system, all controllers should be at the same firmware level.
