Update Device Firmware Using Automatic Mode

Download the firmware update from https://support.oracle.com.

The download should include a metadata file and firmware file for the target device.
Make sure that the firmware is compatible with the target device; read all documentation and release notes included with the firmware before proceeding.
Quiesce the device (stop all activity) before performing the update.

Device firmware includes storage and network controllers, disks, SAS expanders and SAS-to-SATA bridge devices.

To display information about component firmware, do one of the following:

To list information about all components, type:

# fwupdate list all
To list information about a specific device (such as a disk), type:

# fwupdate list disk

Output related to the target is displayed. For example the output from this command is similar to:

To update the device firmware, choose one of the following options:
- Update all devices supported in the metadata, type:
  
  # fwupdate update all -x metadata.xml
  
  where metadata.xml is the path to the metadata file. This updates all components in the system whose device types are specified in the metadata file.
- Update specific devices supported in the metadata, type:
  
  # fwupdate update disk -x metadata.xml
  
  where metadata.xml is the path to the metadata file. This updates all disks in the system whose device types are specified in the metadata file.
- Update a single device supported in the metadata, type:
  
  # fwupdate update disk -x metadata.xml -n c0d1
  
  where metadata.xml is the path to the metadata file. This updates only disk c0d1, and only if its disk drive type is specified in the metadata file.
Follow any prompts, as required, to complete the update process.
To confirm the new firmware, enter one of the following commands:
- To list information about all components, type:
  
  # fwupdate list all
- To list information about a specific device, type:
  
  # fwupdate list disk
