The load command updates the service processor flash image and the host
firmware. The load command requires the following information:
IP address of a TFTP server on the network that can access the flash image
■
Full path name to the flash image that the IP address can access
■
The command usage is as follows:
load [-script] -source tftp://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/pathname
where:
-script – Does not prompt for confirmation and acts as if yes was specified
■
-source – Specifies the IP address and full path name (URI) to the flash image
■
-> load -source tftp://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/pathname

be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of
the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure.
An upgrade takes about 6 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.
