Upgrading the Adapter (Linux)
These topics explain how to upgrade the firmware on the Oracle Dual Port 25 Gb Ethernet
Adapter and verify the upgrade.
The
upgrade
command compares the package version against the currently installed package
version to determine if an upgrade should be performed. The command does not check the
versions of the individual components in the NVM against those within the specified package
file. Therefore, it is important that package files from the same source with the same versioning
scheme or format are used for a specific controller.
These topics describe how to upgrade the adapter:
