Sun Blade 6000 Modular System Firmware Update Guide |
Identify the Hardware and Current Firmware Versions
Determine Whether an Update Is Required
The method that you use to update REM firmware depends on the type of REM and the type of server module the REM is installed on. The preferred method of updating REMs for an x86 server is to use assistant software, as described in this section.
If the REM is installed on an x86 server module, one of the following assistants is available to update the REM:
Sun Installation Assistant – a bootable image that can update REMs, PCI card drivers, and help with OS installation.
Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant – a bootable image that can update REMs, PCI card drivers, and help with OS installation.
Oracle System Assistant – a bootable USB image that resides on an internal USB stick on some servers. Oracle System Assistant can update server module and REM firmware, help with OS installation, and perform some ILOM configuration.
Refer to the server module documentation to determine which assistant is available.
Note - Some REM firmware can be updated using Oracle Hardware Management Pack fwupdate. For details, refer to the support matrix at: http://www.oracle.com/goto/system-management
In blades that do not support a firmware update assistant, use one of the utilities mentioned in the following table.
