ILOM 3.0 Version Numbers


ILOM 3.0 has implemented a new version numbering scheme to help you identify which version of ILOM you are running on your system. The numbering scheme includes a five-field string, for example, a.b.c.d.e, where:

a - Represents the major version of ILOM. b - Represents a minor version of ILOM. c - Represents the update version of ILOM. d - Represents a micro version of ILOM. Micro versions are managed per platform or group of platforms. See your platform Product Notes for details. e - Represents a nano version of ILOM. Nano versions are incremental iterations of a micro version.

For example, ILOM 3.1.2.1.a would designate:


ILOM 3 as the major version of ILOM ILOM 3.1 as a minor version of ILOM 3 ILOM 3.1.2 as the second update version of ILOM 3.1 ILOM 3.1.2.1 as a micro version of ILOM 3.1.2 ILOM 3.1.2.1.a as a nano version of ILOM 3.1.2.1

About This Guide


Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide provides easy-to-use setup and configuration procedures that will enable you to start using ILOM even before your host system is powered on. With ILOM, you can remotely monitor and manage your Oracle Sun server platform without consuming operating system resources. ILOM provides fully featured interfaces, including a browser-based web interface, a command-line interface, an SNMP interface, and an IPMI interface. These interfaces are based on industry standards and are intuitive to use. The getting started procedures describe how to connect your system to ILOM and how to configure the required initial ILOM settings. The procedures to verify and update the ILOM firmware version are also provided. You can find more in-depth descriptions of ILOMs features and functions in the other documents that comprise the ILOM 3.0 Documentation Collection. For a list of those documents, see Related Documentation on page vi.

ILOM Getting Started Process


You can use ILOMs default configuration and settings to access many of ILOMs features, or you can customize certain ILOM settings to work in your specific environment. Before you begin the initial setup of ILOM, determine how you want to access ILOM and how to configure ILOM for your system and data center environment.

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

Connecting Your System to ILOM


You can connect your system to ILOM without a network connection using the serial port, or you can connect your system to ILOM over a network using the network management port. If your network infrastructure uses a firewall, or non-standard ports for common services, you should review the default network port assignments that are documented in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.

Connection Requirements
As of ILOM 3.0.12, new network configuration settings have been added to the ILOM web interface and CLI to support the configuration of a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. For information about dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 networks, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide. Prior to performing the procedures for logging in to ILOM and configuring network settings, you should ensure that the following requirements are met.

Plan how you want to set up ILOM on your server to work in your data center environment. Refer to the section for establishing communication with ILOM in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide. Connect to ILOM over a serial port without a network connection, or log in to ILOM over a network. To log in using a direct serial connection, attach a serial cable to the workstation, terminal, or terminal emulator and to the SER MGT port on the server, or if you are using a Sun Blade Modular System chassis, to the chassis monitoring module (CMM) port. To log in using a network connection, attach an Ethernet cable to the NET MGT port on the server or CMM. Refer to your platform documentation for more information. Determine the method to use to configure the network settings. As of ILOM 3.0.12, new dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 settings are provided that enable ILOM to fully operate in an IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. Prior to ILOM 3.0.12, network configuration settings for IPv4 were provided. You can use either dualstack IPv4 and IPv6 network settings, DHCP for IPv4 settings, or Stateless settings for IPv6. By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain network settings using DHCP. Verify that network addresses were accepted by ILOM for IPv4 network environments or that DNS and host names were accepted by ILOM for IPv6 network environments.

Chapter 1

Getting Started With ILOM

Using the Web Interface or CLI


You can access ILOMs features and functions using either the web interface or the command-line interface (CLI), as well as using an SNMP interface or IPMI interface. You can complete all ILOM tasks in either the web interface or the CLI. The getting started procedures in this guide are divided into two chapters. Chapter 2 explains how to perform the initial setup and configuration tasks using the web interface. Chapter 3 explains how to perform the same tasks, but using the CLI. Before you begin the setup and configuration, choose one of the interfaces and follow the respective procedures.

Using the root Account


ILOM 3.0 provides the preconfigured root user account. You will use the root account for initial login to ILOM. This root user account will be familiar to users who are migrating from ILOM 2.x to ILOM 3.0 and who know how to log in using the root user account. The root user account is persistent and is available on all interfaces (web interface, CLI, SSH, serial console, and IPMI) unless you choose to delete the root account. The root account provides built-in administrative privileges (read and write) for all ILOM features, functions, and commands. To log in to ILOM using the root account:

User name: root Password: changeme

To prevent unauthorized access to your system, you should change the root password (changeme) on each service processor (SP) or chassis monitoring module (CMM) in your system. Alternatively, you can delete the root account to secure access to your system. However, before you delete the root account, you must set up a new user account or configure a directory service in order to log in to ILOM. If you delete the root account before you have configured a new user account or directory service to log in to ILOM, you can use another preconfigured account, the default user account, as an alternative way to log in and re-create the root account. For information about the default user account, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.

Chapter 2

Initial ILOM Setup Procedures Using the Web Interface

Configuring an IPv4 and IPv6 Network Environment


The following web interface procedure provides instructions for configuring ILOM 3.0.12 and later versions to operate in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. For a detailed description about configuring ILOM in the IPv4 and IPv6 network environment, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide. If you are configuring ILOM to operate in an IPv4-only network environment, as is supported in ILOM 3.0.10 and earlier versions of ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedures Guide. By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain the IPv4 address using DHCPv4 and the IPv6 address using IPv6 stateless.

Configure IPv4 and IPv6 Settings Using the Web Interface


1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface or the CMM ILOM web interface. 2. Navigate to the IPv4 and IPv6 network settings that are available on the Network tab. For example:

On a server SP, click Configuration --> Network. On a CMM, do the following:

Select the blade (in the left pane), then (in the right pane) click Configuration --> Network. In the Network Settings table, select the radio button for either the CMM or the blade SP, then click Edit.

Note The Network Settings page at the CMM level of the web interface does not
support the dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 properties. However, it does support IPv4 only properties. To change the IPv6 network settings for a CMM, see Configure IPv4 and IPv6 Settings Using the CLI on page 35. 3. Verify that the network State is enabled.

10

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

Note The setting for network State is enabled by default for both IPv4 and IPv6. If necessary, you can optionally disable (uncheck) the network State for IPv6. However, the IPv4 network State must always be enabled in order for ILOM to operate in an IPv4 network environment or within a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment.
4. Perform the network configuration instructions below that apply to your network environment.

To manually configure a static IP, see the steps below for IPv4 and/or see the steps for IPv6.

Steps to manually configure a static IPv4 address:

Steps

Description

a. b. c. d.

Enable the radio button for Static IP. Type the IP address for the device in the IP address text box. Type the subnet mask of the network on which the device resides. Type the device gateway access address.

Steps to manually configure a static IPv6 address:

Step

Description

Type the IP address for the device in the IP address text box. The input parameters for specifying the IPv6 static IP and netmask are: <IPv6_address>/<subnet_mask_length_in_bits> For example: [fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64] Note - IPv6 supports the assignment of multiple IP addresses for a device. Therefore, you can manually configure a single static IPv6 address in ILOM, as well as enable one or more of the IPv6 auto-configuration options in ILOM, if desired.

To enable DHCP to automatically assign an IPv4 address, select the IPv4 DHCP radio button. To enable one or more of the IPv6 auto-configuration options, select the appropriate option(s) described below.

Chapter 2

Initial ILOM Setup Procedures Using the Web Interface

11

IPv6 Auto-Configuration Option

Description

Stateless (enabled by default) DHCPv6 Stateless

When enabled, the Stateless auto-configuration option is run to learn the IPv6 Stateless address(es) for the device from the network IPv6 router. When enabled, the DHCPv6 Stateless auto-configuration option is run to learn the DNS information for the device from the network DHCPv6 server. Note - The DHCPv6 Stateless auto-configuration option is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14. When enabled, the DHCPv6 Stateful auto-configuration option is run to learn the IPv6 address(es) and DNS information for the device from the network DHCPv6 server. Note - The DHCPv6 Stateful auto-configuration option is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14.

DHCPv6 Stateful

Note As of ILOM 3.0.14 or later, you can enable the option for Stateless autoconfiguration to run at the same time as when the option for DHCPv6 Stateless is enabled or when the option for DHCPv6 Stateful is enabled. However, the autoconfiguration options for DHCPv6 Stateless and DHCPv6 Stateful should not be enabled to run at the same time.

Note When you enable the auto-configuration for either DHCPv6 Stateful or
DHCPv6 Stateless, ILOM will identify in the Network Settings page the DHCP Unique ID for the DHCPv6 server that was last used to retrieve the DHCP information. 5. Click Save to apply the changes made. All changes to the network settings are considered pending within the ILOM session until you click Save.

Note Changing the static IP address on the device (SP or CMM) will end all active ILOM sessions to the device. A message will appear prompting you to close your browser session. You will need to log back in to ILOM using the newly assigned static IP address.

12

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

Note IPv6 addresses learned for the device from any of the IPv6 autoconfiguration options will not affect any of the active ILOM sessions to the device. You can verify the newly learned auto-configured addresses on the Network tab. To test the IPv4 or IPv6 network configuration from ILOM, use the Network Test Tools (Ping or Ping6). For details, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedures Guide.

Adding User Accounts or Configuring a Directory Service


After you log in to ILOM using the root user account, you can choose either to create a local user account or to configure a directory service. For detailed information about ILOM user accounts and directory services, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.

Roles Definition Privileges

Admin

A user who is assigned the Admin (a) role is authorized to view and change the state of ILOM configuration variables. With the exception of tasks that users who have User Management, Console, and Reset and Host Control roles, users assigned the Admin role are authorized to perform all other ILOM functions. A user who is assigned the User Management (u) role is authorized to create and delete user accounts, change user passwords, change roles assigned to other users, and enable/disable the physical-access requirement for the default user account. This role also includes authorization to set up LDAP, LDAP/SSL, RADIUS, and Active Directory. A user who is assigned the Console (c) role is authorized to access the ILOM Remote Console and the SP console and to view and change the state of the ILOM console configuration variables. A user who is assigned the Reset and Host Control (r) role is authorized to operate the system, which includes power control, reset, hot-plug, enabling and disabling components, and fault management. This role maps very closely to the ILOM 2.0 user with Operator privileges. A user who is assigned the Read Only (o) role is authorized to view the state of the ILOM configuration variables but cannot make any changes. Users assigned this role can also change the password and the Session Time-Out setting for their own user account. A user who is assigned the Service (s) role can assist Oracle service engineers in the event that on-site service is required.

Admin Groups Operator Groups Custom Groups User Domains Alternate Servers DNS Locator Queries

10. Enter the required data in the tables. The Admin Groups, Operator Groups, and Custom Groups tables contain the names of the Microsoft Active Directory groups in the Distinguished Name (DN) format, Simple Name format, or NT-Style Name. Custom Groups require the configuration of user roles to have Advanced Roles or Administrator/Operator privileges to perform various tasks. User Domains are the authentication domains used to authenticate a user. When the user logs in, the name used is formatted in the specific domain name format template that appears in the cell. <USERNAME> will be replaced by the users login name during authentication. Either the principle or Distinguished Name format is supported. User authentication is attempted based on the user name that is entered and the configured user domains.

Chapter 2

Initial ILOM Setup Procedures Using the Web Interface

The Alternate Servers table provides redundancy for authentication. If a certificate is not supplied, a top-level primary certificate is used. The alternate servers have the same rules and requirements as the top-level certificate mode. Each server has its own certificate status, and its own certificate command to retrieve the certificate if it is needed. The DNS Locator Queries table is used to query DNS servers to learn about the hosts to use for authentication. The DNS Locator queries are only used when DNS Locator is enabled and DNS is configured and functioning. In the following tables, default data shows the expected format of the Active Directory data.

Admin Groups Table: The name listed in entry 1 uses the Distinguished Name format.

Configure LDAP Server


Follow these steps to configure the LDAP server. Refer to your LDAP documentation for detailed instructions. 1. Ensure that all users authenticating to ILOM have passwords stored in "crypt" format or the GNU extension to crypt, commonly referred to as "MD5 crypt." For example: userPassword: {CRYPT}ajCa2He4PJhNo or userPassword: {CRYPT}$1$pzKng1$du1Bf0NWBjh9t3FbUgf46. ILOM only supports LDAP authentication for passwords stored in these two variations of the crypt format. 2. Add object classes posixAccount and shadowAccount, and populate the required property values for this schema (RFC 2307).
Required Property Description

uid uidNumber gidNumber userPassword homeDirectory loginShell

User name for logging in to ILOM Any unique number Any unique number Password Any value (this property is ignored by ILOM) Any value (this property is ignored by ILOM)

3. Configure the LDAP server to enable LDAP server access to ILOM user accounts. Either enable your LDAP server to accept anonymous binds, or create a proxy user on your LDAP server that has read-only access to all user accounts that will authenticate through ILOM. See Configure ILOM for LDAP on page 23.

22

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

Configuring an IPv4 and IPv6 Network Environment


The following CLI procedure provides instructions for configuring ILOM to operate in a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment. For a detailed description about configuring ILOM in the IPv4 and IPv6 network environment, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide. If you are configuring ILOM to operate in an IPv4-only network environment, as is supported in ILOM 3.0.10 and earlier versions of ILOM, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide. By default, ILOM will attempt to obtain the IPv4 address using DHCPv4 and the IPv6 address using IPv6 stateless.

Configure IPv4 and IPv6 Settings Using the CLI


1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI. Establish a local serial console connection or SSH connection to the server SP or CMM. 2. Perform the network configuration instructions that apply to your network environment:

To configure IPv4 network settings, perform Step 3 through Step 5 in this procedure. To configure IPv6 network settings, perform Step 6 to Step 10 in this procedure.

3. For IPv4 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /x/network working directory for the device. For example:

For a rackmount server SP type: cd /SP/network For a chassis CMM type: cd /CMM/network For a chassis blade server SP type: cd /CH/BLn/network For a chassis blade server with multiple SP nodes type: cd /CH/BLn/Noden/network

4. Type the show command to view the configured IPv4 network settings configured on the device. 5. To set IPv4 network settings for DHCP or static, perform one of the following:

Chapter 3

Initial ILOM Setup Procedures Using the ILOM CLI

35

To configure DHCP IPv4 network settings, set values for the following properties:
Set Property Value Description

Property

state

set state=enabled

The network state is enabled by default for IPv4. Note - To enable the DHCP network option for IPv4 the state must be set to enabled. The property value for ipdiscovery is set to dhcp by default for IPv4. Note - If the dhcp default property value was changed to static, you will need to set the property value to dhcp. Type set commitpending=true to commit the changes made to the state and ipdiscovery property values.

pendingipdiscovery

set pendingipdiscovery=dhcp

commitpending=

set commitpending=true

To configure static IPv4 network settings, set values for the following properties:

36

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

6. For IPv6 network configurations, use the cd command to navigate to the /x/network/ipv6 working directory for the device. For example:

For a rackmount server SP type: cd /SP/network/ipv6 For a chassis CMM type: cd /CMM/network/ipv6 For a chassis blade server SP type: cd /CH/BLn/network/ipv6 For a chassis blade server with multiple SP nodes type: cd /CH/BLn/Noden/network/ipv6

7. Type the show command to view the configured IPv6 network settings configured on the device. For example, see the following sample output values for the IPv6 properties on a server SP device:.
-> show /SP/network/ipv6 Targets: Properties: state = enabled autoconfig = stateless dhcpv6_server_duid = (none) link_local_ipaddress = fe80::214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64 static_ipaddress = ::/128 ipgateway = fe80::211:5dff:febe:5000/128 pending_static_ipaddress = ::/128 dynamic_ipaddress_1 = fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64 Commands: cd show

Note The default IPv6 autoconfig= property value provided in ILOM 3.0.14
(and later) is autoconfig=stateless. However, if you have ILOM 3.0.12 installed on your CMM or server, the default property value for autoconfig appears as autoconfig=stateless_only.

Note When the autoconfig= property is set to dhcpv6_stateful or dhcpv6_stateless, the read-only property for dhcpv6_server_duid will identify the DHCP Unique ID of the DHCPv6 server that was last used by ILOM to retrieve the DHCP information.

Chapter 3

Initial ILOM Setup Procedures Using the ILOM CLI

37

8. To configure an IPv6 auto-configuration option, use the set command to specify the following auto-configuration property values.
Property Set Property Value Description

state

set state=enabled

The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable an IPv6 auto-configuration option, this state must be set to enabled. Specify this command followed by the autoconf value you want to set. Options include: stateless (default setting provided in ILOM 3.0.14 or later) or stateless_only (default setting provided in ILOM 3.0.12) Automatically assigns IP address learned from the IPv6 network router. dhcpv6_stateless Automatically assigns DNS information learned from the DHCP server. The dhcpv6_stateless property value is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14. dhcpv6_stateful Automatically assigns the IPv6 address learned from the DHCPv6 server. The dhcpv6_stateful property value is available in ILOM as of 3.0.14. disable Disables all auto-configuration property values and sets the read-only property value for link local address.

autoconfig

set autoconfig=<value>

The following information is relevant to the IPv6 autoconfig options:

IPv6 auto-config options take affect after they are set. You do not need to commit these changes under the /network target. IPv6 auto-config addresses learned for the device will not affect any of the active ILOM sessions to the device. You can verify the newly learned autoconfigured addresses under the /network/ipv6 target. As of ILOM 3.0.14 or later, you can enable the stateless auto-config option to run at the same time as when the option for dhcpv6_stateless is enabled or as when the option for dhcpv6_stateful is enabled. However, the auto-config options for dhcpv6_stateless and dhcpv6_stateful should not be enabled to run at the same time.

38

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

9. To set a pending static IPv6 address, specify the following property values:
Property Set Property Value Description

state

set state=enabled

The IPv6 network state is enabled by default. To enable a static IP address the state must be set to enabled.

pendingipaddress

set pending_static_ipaddress= Type this command followed by the property <ip_address>/<subnet_mask_length_in value for the static IPv6 address and net mask _bits> that you want to assign to the device. IPv6 address example: fec0:a:8:b7:214:4fff:feca:5f7e/64

10. To commit the pending IPv6 static network parameters, perform the following steps: a. Use the cd command to change the directory to the device network target. For example:

For rackmount server type: cd /SP/network For chassis CMM type: cd /CMM/network For chassis blade server SP type: cd /CH/BLn/network For chassis blade server SP with multiple nodes type: cd /CH/BLn/Noden/network

b. Type the following command to commit the changed property values for IPv6: set commitpending=true

Note Assigning a new static IP address to the device (SP or CMM) will end all
active ILOM sessions to the device. To log back in to ILOM, you will need to create a new browser session using the newly assigned IP address. To test the IPv4 or IPv6 network configuration from ILOM use the Network Test Tools (Ping and Ping6). For details, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide.

Updating ILOM Firmware to Latest Version


You can use either the ILOM web interface or the CLI to update ILOM firmware. See:

Update ILOM Firmware Using the Web Interface on page 55 Update ILOM Firmware Using the CLI on page 57

Before You Begin


Prior to performing the procedures in this section, the following requirements must be met:

Identify the version of ILOM that is currently running on your system. Download the firmware image for your server or CMM from the platforms product web site. Refer to the section about Updating the Firmware in either the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Procedures Guide or the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedures Guide. Copy the firmware image to a server using a supported protocol (TFTP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS). For a CLI update, copy the image to a local server. For a web interface update, copy the image to the system on which the web browser is running. If required by your platform, shut down your host operating system before updating the firmware on your server SP. Obtain an ILOM user name and password that has Admin (a) role account privileges. You must have Admin (a) privileges to update the firmware on the system. The firmware update process takes about six minutes to complete. During this time, do not perform other ILOM tasks. When the firmware update is complete, the system will reboot.

Update ILOM Firmware Using the Web Interface


1. Log in to the ILOM web interface as any user with Admin (a) role account privileges.

2. Select Maintenance --> Firmware Upgrade. The Firmware Upgrade page appears. 3. In the Firmware Upgrade page, click Enter Upgrade Mode. An Upgrade Verification dialog appears, indicating that other users who are logged in will lose their session when the update processes completes. 4. In the Upgrade Verification dialog, click OK to continue. The Firmware Upgrade page appears. 5. In the Firmware Upgrade page, do the following: a. Specify the image location by performing one of the following:

Click Browse to select the location of the firmware image you want to install. If supported on your system, click Specify URL to specify a URL that will locate the firmware image. Then type the URL into the text box.

b. Click the Upload button to upload and validate the file. Wait for the file to upload and validate. The Firmware Verification page appears. 6. In the Firmware Verification page, enable one of the following options:

Preserve Configuration. Enable this option if you want to save your existing configuration in ILOM and restore that existing configuration after the update process completes. Delay BIOS upgrade until next server power-off. Enable this option if you want to postpone the BIOS upgrade until the next time the system reboots.

Note The BIOS prompt only appears on x86 systems currently running an ILOM
3.x firmware release. If you answer yes (y) to the prompt, the system postpones the BIOS upgrade until the next time the system reboots. If you answer no (n) to the prompt, the system automatically updates the BIOS, if necessary, when updating the SP firmware. If you choose to update the BIOS, the system will automatically overwrite the current BIOS settings and then assign the BIOS factory default settings. 7. Click Start Upgrade to start the upgrade process or click Exit to cancel the process. When you click Start Upgrade the upload process will start and a prompt to continue the process appears.

56

Oracle ILOM 3.0 Getting Started Guide October 2010

8. At the prompt, click OK to continue. The Update Status page appears providing details about the update progress. When the update status indicates 100%, the firmware update is complete. When the update completes, the system automatically reboots.

Note The ILOM web interface might not refresh properly after the update
completes. If the ILOM web page is missing information, or displays an error message, you might be viewing a cached version of the page from the version previous to the update. Clear your browser cache and refresh your browser before continuing. 9. Reconnect to the ILOM web interface using the same user name and password that you provided in Step 1 of this procedure. If you did not preserve the ILOM configuration before the firmware update, you will need to perform the initial ILOM setup procedures to reconnect to ILOM. 10. Verify that the proper firmware version has been installed. Select System Information --> Version. The firmware version on the SP or CMM should correspond to the firmware image you installed.

Update ILOM Firmware Using the CLI


1. Log in to the ILOM CLI as any user with Admin (a) role account privileges. 2. Verify that you have network connectivity to update the firmware. For example:

To verify network connectivity on a server SP, type:


-> show /SP/network

To verify network connectivity on a CMM, type:


-> show /CMM/network

3. Type the following command to load the ILOM firmware image:


-> load -source <supported_protocol>://<server_ipaddress>/<path_to_ firmware_image>/<filename.xxx>

A note about the firmware update process followed by message prompts to load the image are displayed. The text of the note depends on your platform.

4. At the prompt for loading the specified file, type y for yes or n for no. The prompt to preserve the configuration appears. For example: Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)? 5. At the preserve configuration prompt, type y for yes or n for no. Type y to save your existing ILOM configuration and to restore that configuration when the update process completes.

Note If you type n at the preserve configuration prompt, another platform-specific


prompt appears. 6. Do one of the following:

If you have a 2.x firmware release installed on your system, the system will enter a special mode to load the new firmware. Then the system will automatically reboot to complete the firmware update. Proceed to Step 7. If you have a 3.x firmware release installed on a SPARC system, the system will enter a special mode to load the new firmware. Then the system will automatically reboot to complete the firmware update. Proceed to Step 7. If you have a 3.x firmware release installed on an x86 system, a prompt to postpone the BIOS update will appear. For example: Do you want to force the server off if BIOS needs to be upgraded (y/n)?

a. At the prompt to postpone the BIOS update, type y for yes or n for no. The system will enter a special mode to load the new firmware and then the system will automatically reboot to complete the firmware update.

Note The BIOS prompt only appears on x86 systems currently running an ILOM
3.x firmware release. If you answer yes (y) to the prompt, the system postpones the BIOS upgrade until the next time the system reboots. If you answer no (n) to the prompt, the system automatically updates the BIOS, if necessary, when updating the SP firmware. If you choose to update the BIOS, the system will automatically overwrite the current BIOS settings and then assign the BIOS factory default settings. b. Proceed to Step 7.
