For Oracle Solaris 10 to support this release of Oracle Hardware Management Pack, you must install the required patches. See Oracle Solaris 10 Patches Needed for Oracle HMP 2.4.

Beginning with this release of Oracle Hardware Management Pack, support for installing Oracle Hardware Management Pack using the Installer has been removed. You will still be able to install Oracle Hardware Management Pack components manually, as described in the Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Installation Guide.

Before installing Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4.9.0, you must first uninstall any version older than 2.4.9.0 to remove components that are no longer supported. The uninstall process includes the removal of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that was installed as a dependent component in previous versions of Oracle Hardware Management Pack. Refer to the uninstall methods described in the Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Installation Guide.

The -Q or --quick option has been added to fwupdate. This option is used with the list and update subcommands to optimize access to include only the targeted devices during device discovery when specifying a firmware metadata file. If this option is excluded from the command line, all devices in the system are discovered which can increase time it takes for the command to fully execute. For more information, refer to Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Server CLI Tools User's Guide.

The -t or --intfname=interface option and the -T or --intfname-fallback=interface option have been added to fwupdate, ilomconfig and ubiosconfig. These options allow you to specify an IPMI interface to use when connecting remotely to the service processor. For more information, refer to Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4 Server CLI Tools User's Guide.

The ilomconfig export config command fails on systems running Oracle ILOM 5.1.1. See ilomconfig Export Config Fails (35265684).
