How to update Sun System Firmware without Solaris, using ILOM or ALOM CLI.

The Sun System Firmware update process enables you to install new firmware for
both the host and Service Processor. You can use the default ILOM CLI syntax,
or optionally, the ALOM CLI command syntax. For ALOM CLI, you must first follow
the instructions in Appendix 1, "How to Create an ALOM CMT Compatibility Shell"

This Appendix includes the following sections:

    * Firmware Update Process

    * ILOM Firmware Update Overview

          o View ILOM Version Information Using the CLI

          o Update ILOM Firmware Using the CLI

          o Reset ILOM SP

Firmware Update Process
-----------------------

Review this caution and these guidelines when updating the firmware.

CAUTION - Shut down your host operating system before proceeding. ILOM attempts
to shut down the OS gracefully. If a graceful shutdown is not possible, ILOM
forces a shutdown, which could cause filesystem corruption.

    * The firmware update process takes less than ten minutes to complete.
      During this time, no other tasks should be performed in ILOM.

    * A network failure during the firmware file upload results in a time-out.
      This causes ILOM to reboot with the currently installed version of
      firmware.

ILOM Firmware Update Overview
-----------------------------

1. Download the new firmware image.

2. Copy the image to a TFTP server for a CLI update.

3. Log in as any user with Administrator privileges.

4. Update the firmware on the service processor (SP) using the CLI.

5. When the firmware update is complete, the system automatically reboots.

To View ILOM Version Information Using the CLI

1. Log in to the Secure Shell as any user with Administrator privileges.

2. Type the following to view current system firmware version info:

-> show /HOST
(ILOM CLI)

or

sc> showhost
(ALOM CLI)

The following information appears:

SP firmware #.#.#.#
SP firmware build number: #####
SP firmware date: Fri Apr 27 14:03:21 EDT 2007
SP filesystem version: #.#.##

Update ILOM Firmware Using the CLI (Command Line Interface)

1. Log in as any user with Administrator privileges.

2. Type the following command to download the new ILOM firmware image:

-> load -source tftpURL
(ILOM CLI)

or

sc>flashupdate -s IPaddr -f pathname
(ALOM CLI)

For example:

-> load -source tftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/filename.pkg
(ILOM CLI)

or

sc> flashupdate -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -f /filename.pkg
(ALOM CLI)

NOTE: A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to
      be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of
      the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure.
      An upgrade takes less than 10 minutes to complete. ILOM
      will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No
      other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the
      firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset.

Firmware update is complete.
ILOM will now be restarted with the new firmware.
