Using the Thumb Drive to Update Firmware on a System
You should have already prepared your thumb drive with a bootable Linux image and installed Oracle Hardware Management Pack on it.
-
Download the firmware patch you want to install from My Oracle Support (MOS) portal:
-
Unzip the package to your thumb drive.
-
You should now be able to put the thumb drive in another system, boot Linux and perform a firmware update using the Oracle Hardware Management Pack
fwupdate
command. For information on using thefwupdate
command, see Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Server CLI Tools User's Guide.
