Updating the Firmware | Sun Microsystems X4150 specification

Updating the Firmware

You can use CLI to update the SP firmware. Updating the ELOM from the command line enables you to update both the SP firmware and the BIOS at the same time. If you are using the CLI to update the firmware, a TFTPServer is required.

▼To Update the Firmware

Caution – Power interruptions during the update process could leave the SP in a unbootable or nonrecoverable state. Before upgrading your firmware, ensure that you have reliable power and protect against accidental power interruptions.

Note – The upgrade takes about 5 minutes to complete, depending on network traffic. During this time, no other tasks can be performed in the Embedded Lights Out Manager software.

1.Copy the combined image from the Tools and Driver CD to your TFTP server. The image is located in the /remoteflash directory.

2.If the server OS is running, perform a clean shutdown.

3.Log in to the CLI and change to the TftpUpdate directory:

/SP ->cd TftpUpdate

Note – A network failure during the file upload will result in a timeout. This causes the SP to reboot with the prior version of the firmware.

4.Enter the following command to set the IP address of the TFTP server:

/SP/TftpUpdate -> set ServerIP=n.n.n.n

n.n.n.nThe server IP address.

5.Enter the following command to set the file name of the combined bmc.bios image:

/SP/TftpUpdate ->set Filename=x4150-10_3A01

a.To update the firmware, enter one of the following commands:
