Update BIOS and SP Firmware or CMM Firmware (Oracle ILOM)
Out Manager (ILOM) update .pkg file for the system BIOS and service processor (SP)
or for the chassis monitoring module (CMM). For instructions on how to download the
firmware pack from My Oracle Support, see “Getting Firmware and Software From
MOS” on page 233.
■
To load additional firmware such as SAS expanders, host bus adapters, or controllers, see
“Updating System Software and Firmware (Oracle System Assistant)” on page 220.
This procedure loads the BIOS and SP or CMM packages, but not other firmware, such as
SAS expanders, host bus adapters, or controllers.
Alternatively, for blades, you can use Oracle ILOM to load the complete package. Refer to
Update Blade Chassis Component Firmware Images in the Oracle ILOM Configuration and
Maintenance Guide for firmware release 3.1 or 3.2.
■
Log in to Oracle ILOM. For instructions see “Accessing Oracle ILOM” on page 38.
■
Ensure that you have Admin (a) role privileges in Oracle ILOM.
The following procedure provides web and command-line interface (CLI) instructions for both
a service processor (SP) and a chassis monitoring module (CMM).
Note - The firmware update process takes several minutes to complete. During this time, do not
perform any operations on the target server SP or CMM.
To update the firmware for a single system SP or for a CMM:
■ From the Web interface:
a.
Click ILOM Administration > Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade.
b.
Set the appropriate fields on the Firmware Upgrade page, and then click
Start.
When the firmware process completes, the system reboots to apply the new firmware
image.
■ Select the following options, if they are available on your system. Some
systems do not offer these options:
■
Preserve Configuration: Enable this option to save and restore the existing Oracle
ILOM firmware settings.
■
Preserve BIOS Configuration: Enable this option to save and restore existing BIOS
configurations. This option is not supported on all servers.
■
Delay BIOS Upgrade: Postpone the BIOS upgrade until after the next time the system
is reset or power-cycled.
