Begin by determining your system’s current ILOM and system BIOS versions. The
ILOM version is available from the web GUI in the System Information/Versions
screen. You can also retrieve the version from the ILOM command line using the
version
command.
Note –
Always include the build number when referring to an ILOM version.
Different builds with the same version number are often available.
Use these two version strings to determine the software release version. In the
following examples, we will assume that the initial ILOM is 1.0.2 Build 10708, and
the initial BIOS is 0ABHA041. These are both part of Software 1.1 for the Sun Fire
X4600.
Now you need the ILOM version for the latest X4600 release. For the purpose of the
following examples, we will use Software 1.3a, which contains ILOM 2.0.2.1 build
23233.
Next, you need the version strings for the latest M2 release. For the purpose of the
following examples, we will use Software 2.0, which contains ILOM 2.0.2.5 build
29771.
If you plan to use earlier versions of the M2 firmware, you will need the software
release, ILOM version, system BIOS version, and LSI HBA BIOS version for your
final setup. If you plan to use the latest M2 firmware, you need the latest system
BIOS and LSI HBA BIOS version. For the purpose of the following examples, we will
assume that no downgrade is needed, so that we only need the versions from
Software 2.0. These are fw1.23.90-bios6.18.01.
Note –
The version strings cited above are examples. Don’t assume that Software
1.3a and Software 2.0 are the actual latest releases. Newer releases may have been
made available since this manual was written. Always refer to the latest
Software
Release Notes
and
Product Notes
.
If you fill out the firmware worksheet using the above examples, it should look
something like
