3.8.1 Recovering the SP Firmware Image using the
Preboot Menu
The preboot menu provides the ability to recover the ILOM firmware image by
updating (flashing) the SP firmware.
Normally, you can update the SP using the ILOM CLI or the web interface. Refer to
the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager documentation for details.
If you are unable to access the ILOM to update the firmware, you can use this
procedure to update it using the preboot menu.
3.8.1.1

Prerequisites

You must have a valid .flash firmware image file on a tftp server. This file is
available on the tools and drivers DVD, and on the Oracle download site:
http://support.oracle.com
Note – Updating the SP firmware using the preboot menu requires a .flash file
instead of the .pkg file used to update the SP from the ILOM.
