Update SP Firmware After Replacing a CMOD or SP Module (15465497)
On older versions of Oracle ILOM, a pending BIOS upgrade does not take place until you
power cycle your server.
On newer versions of Oracle ILOM, a pending BIOS upgrade takes place when you reset your
system.
Caution - If you reboot the server expecting a routine server reset and instead initiate a
(delayed) BIOS upgrade, wait until the upgrade is finished. Do not interrupt the process as this
can result in corrupted firmware and server down time.
Note -
Oracle ILOM and BIOS updates are designed to work together. When you have a
pending BIOS upgrade, it is recommended that you install the upgrade by resetting or power
cycling your server as soon as possible.
Update SP Firmware After Replacing a CMOD or SP Module
(15465497)
When the replacement of either a CMOD or the service processor results in an incompatibilty
between the hardware revision of the component and the firmware version of either the SP or
the BIOS, the recommendation is to maintain compatibility with the SP firmware. Therefore,
update or downgrade the system firmware package to the version compatible with the SP.
MegaCLI
CfgEachDskRaid0
Command Does Not Work
Correctly (CR 7121867)
The
CfgEachDskRaid0
command has two problems when run in the preboot CLI:
■
It assigns newly created logical volumes in apparently random order.
■
It sometimes fails to create all volumes.
These problems only occur when the command is run in the preboot environment. Normally,
you only configure a single boot volume in the preboot CLI anyway.
Workaround
This workaround allows you to configure the drives individually using the
CfgLdAdd
command
in the preboot CLI.
