Solution
While you do not need to perform a bootloader upgrade as you once may have done on a 4500 or 3800 series SBC, the bootloader file does need to be updated.
You can accomplish the upgrde by downloading the appropriate image, which includes the bootloader file, and following the steps below.
To download the image and bootloader file:
- Select “Patches and Updates”
- Select “Product or Family Advanced Search”
- Type in “Oracle Communications Session Border Controller” For the Product
- Select “Session Border Controller SCz7.1.2” For the Release
Example - when downloading SCz7.1.2m2p3 from the Support Portal, three files are included in the zip'd file.
- readmea-buildnotes
- the image - nnSCZ712m2p3.64.bz
- bootloader - nnSCZ712m2p3.64.boot
The image and bootloader file should be uploaded to the 6300 /boot directory.
You then have to modify/move/rename the current bootloader file with the steps below.

You need rename the current bootloader file using either the cp or mv command.
/boot # cp bootloader bootloader_712m2p2.old
It is probably a good idea to include the release info so you can use it in the event that a downgrade is required - thus the _712n2p2.
You then need to rename the new, recently downloaded bootloader file - ex "nnSCZ712m2p3.64.boot" to "bootloader".
Please note that the nnSCZ712m2p3.64.boot file is not present in the listing output above.
/boot # cp nnSCZ712m2p3.64.boot bootloader
You can then exit the shell and update your bootparams to use the new image.
/boot # exit
shell exited. returning to acli
SBC-6300-1# conf t
SBC-6300-1(configure)#
SBC-6300-1(configure)# bootparam
'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; q = quit
Boot File : /boot/nnSCZ712m2p2.64.bz /boot/nnSCZ712m2p3.64.bz
