Update the Firmware
The Live Firmware update feature of the SPARC M7, T7, and S7 series servers supports
updating Sun System firmware while the SPARC host is powered on. The Oracle ILOM
firmware update goes into immediate effect. However, the host components update is delayed
until the affected host is power cycled. Because Oracle ILOM can be updated while the host is
powered on, this feature reduces the total system down time.
Note -
System Firmware version of 9.5.2.g.
1.
Check the current system firmware version. From the Oracle ILOM command
prompt, type:

Then place the SysFW image in a shared location the host can access, for example, a local or
network share or on a TFTP, FTP, HTTP or HTTPS server.
3.
Notify SP users of the scheduled firmware update and ask them to close all
client sessions until after the firmware update is complete. Do not perform any
other Oracle ILOM tasks during the firmware update.
Update the firmware through the Oracle ILOM CLI.
