Purpose

The intent of this document is to provide the reader with the available versions of the SPARC M5-32 and M6-32 System Firmware (SysFW) and to inform where and how to obtain the appropriate images.

Always refer to the patch's README file for information about installation requirements and special instructions.

See the following document for the minimum supported firmware, software, solaris, patches and requirements for minimal solaris installation for the M5-32 and M6-32 servers : 1539275.1

 

After downloading the appropriate patch, download the package flash image onto your Service Processor using the procedure as described in the installation instructions file.

The Host will have to be reset to apply the latest images of Hypervisor/OBP/POST.

 

Scope

 

Details

The System Firmware consists of the following components :

  • ILOM
  • Hostconfig
  • Hypervisor
  • OpenBoot
  • POST
  • GM

The SysFW image is composed of :

  • a package flash image (Sun_System_Firmware-x_x_x_x-SPARC_M5-32.pkg or Sun_System_Firmware-x_x_x_x-SPARC_M5-32+M6-32.pkg)
  • a Readme file

Where to locate patches, updates, and/or firmware images?

Product patches, updates and firmware are available for download from My Oracle Support, on the Patches and Updates tab across the top of the page (below where your user name or email is displayed once logged in).
SEARCH TIPS:  Search for the patch using the Advanced Search option and choose to filter the results based on your system type:
For example choose SPARC M5-32 or whatever system you are looking for an image for.
After selecting the appropriate system, the next drop-down menu will ask you to sort through a list of releases and select the desired release (we suggest the latest). 

After selecting the version and clicking search,  a listing will appear that shows you the patch ID which you can open and download the firmware from.
Information on accessing and using My Oracle Support can be found at the My Oracle Support Welcome Center for Oracle Sun Customers and Partners.
