PreviouslyPublishedAs 212401 Description How to update Firmware and BIOS on a Sun Fire[TM] V60x/V65x Server Steps to Follow How to update the Firmware and BIOS on a Sun Fire V60x and V65x Server: Note: You must first create the 3 bootable diskettes needed to update the firmware (FRU/SDR, BMC and BIOS) before proceeding. See how to create these diskettes from a particular system (i.e. windows, linux, X86) at the end of this procedure. 1. Power off or reboot the Sun Fire V60x or V65x server system. 2. Insert the FRU/SDR update diskette into the server and power on the system. The system automatically boots to the FRU/SDR diskette and a banner displays identifying the platform and software. Note: See how to create this "FRU/SDR" diskette from a particular system (i.e. windows, linux, X86) at the end of this procedure. 3. After a menu of options appears that prompts you to select the function you want to perform, Select Option 1, Update FRUs and the SD repository. 4. You are prompted to indicate whether you want to update serial number and asset tag information. Select N for No if you don't want to update this information (the existing serial number and asset tag will remain unchanged). Select Y for Yes if you want to update any of this information. Follow the prompts to continue the update. The FRU/SDR update continues and the system returns to the command prompt when completed. 5. Remove the FRU/SDR update diskette and power off the Sun Fire V60x or V65x server. 6. Insert the BMC update diskette into the server and power on the system. The system automatically boots to the BMC update diskette and a banner display identifying the platform and software. Note: See how to create this "BMC" diskette from a particular system (i.e. windows, linux, X86) at the end of this procedure. 7. Press any key to proceed with the update when prompted. The update continues and the system returns to the command prompt when done. 8. Remove the BMC update diskette and power off the Sun Fire V60x or V65x server. 9. Insert the BIOS update diskette into the server and power on the system. The system automatically boots to the BIOS update diskette and a banner displays identifying the platform and software. Note: See how to create this "BIOS" diskette from a particular system (i.e. windows, linux, X86) at the end of this procedure. 10. Press any key to proceed with the update when prompted. The update continues and the system returns to the command prompt when completed, then it automatically reboots. Note: Watch the system carefully so that you are aware of when the update is complete and the system begins to automatically reboot. As described in the next step, you must remove the floppy diskette from drive A before the system reboots. 11. When the update is completed, remove the floppy diskette from drive A. The system will automatically reboot when the update is completed. 12. Press the F2 key to select SETUP as soon as the option appears on the screen. 13. Once you are in the main page of the SETUP menu, use the arrow key to select the Server menu. 14. In the Server screen, select the System Management option, then press Enter. The newly updated BIOS and other firmware revisions are displayed as shown here: BIOS version: [SWV25.86B.1191.P08] BMC Firmware Revision: [0119] SDR Revision: [5.5.5] 15. If the BIOS and firmware revisions display correctly, proceed to Step 16. If any of the firmware components do not show the correct revision, do the following: a. Make a note of the incorrect revisions. b. Turn off the server. c. Unplug the AC power cord for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. d. Power on the server. e. Return to the beginning of this section and reinstall the updates for the BIOS or firmware components that do not display the correct revision. 16. Press the F9 key to select default settings. 17. Select Yes and press the Enter key. 18. Press the F10 key to select Save and Exit. 19. Select Yes and press the Enter key. 20. The system automatically reboots. The BIOS and firmware update procedures are completed. ====================================================================== Creating BIOS and Firmware Update Diskettes ====================================================================== (Solaris[TM] X86 Users) Create BIOS and Firmware Update Diskettes (Solaris X86 Users) To download the BIOS and firmware updates to diskettes using a Solaris" x86 system: 1.
