SPM Firmware and Configuration

System firmware consists of two components, an SP component and a host component. The
SP firmware component is located on the SPM, and the host component is located on the
motherboard. For the server to operate correctly, the firmware in these two components must be
compatible.
When replacing the SPM, you must restore the configuration settings maintained in the SPM.
Before replacing the SPM, save the configuration using the Oracle ILOM backup utility. Refer
to the Oracle ILOM documentation for instructions on backing up and restoring the Oracle
ILOM configuration.
After replacing the SPM, the new SPM firmware component and the existing host
firmware component must be consistent with each other. To ensure that the firmware is
compatible throughout the server, load new system firmware as described in
