Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1012949.1 : How to determine the system firmware version on T1000/T2000
PreviouslyPublishedAs 217745 Applies to:Sun Netra T2000 Server - Version Not Applicable and laterSun Fire T1000 Server - Version Not Applicable and later Sun Fire T2000 Server - Version Not Applicable and later Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server - Version Not Applicable and later Sun SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server - Version Not Applicable and later All Platforms GoalThis document describes how to verify the system firmware version on Sun Fire T1000 and Sun Fire T2000 in order to determine if the server is at (or beyond) the mandatory level. To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the Coolthread Servers Community
Fix1. To verify the mandatory (minimum) firmware level supported for each platform reference the product notes, available at the following links: 2. To determine the current System Firmware revision installed on the system, from the System Controller command-line interface (CLI) use the output from the following commands: From the 'showhost' output, find the version of System Firmware and the versions of the following firmware components: -Hypervisor -OBP -Integrated POST Example: sc> showhost System Firmware 6.2.6 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 2006/10/06 12:36 Host flash versions: Hypervisor 1.2.3 2006/08/18 12:25 OBP 4.23.4 2006/08/04 20:46 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 POST 4.23.4 2006/08/04 21:15
-Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT (ALOM-CMT) -vBSC Example: sc> showsc version -v Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.2.6 SC Firmware version: CMT 1.2.5 SC Bootmon version: CMT 1.2.5 VBSC 1.2.4 VBSC firmware built Aug 18 2006, 12:27:38...................
3. Compare the current System Firmware revision with the latest available revision, which can be obtained from the latest FW patch install.info file. If the 'showhost' command doesn't provide the System Firmware revision (this may happen on some systems), you may need to compare the versions of the separate firmware components, which are also available from the patch install.info file: System Firmware 6.2.6 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 2006/10/06 ALOM-CMT v1.2.6 Oct 6 2006 12:33:12 VBSC 1.2.4 Aug 18 2006 12:27:38 Hypervisor 1.2.3 2006/08/18 12:25 OBP 4.23.4 2006/08/04 20:46 Sun Fire[TM] T2000 POST 4.23.4 2006/08/04
4. The firmware versions in steps 2 and 3 are only examples. In case your firmware revision is lower that the latest version available, proceed to upgrading the system firmware in order to get the latest fixes and avoid known issues. The latest firmware can be found on MOS, under Patches & Updates (for example System Firmware 6.7.12, patch 139434-09). NOTE: When upgrading the firmware make sure that the system is running a compatible OS version, otherwise you may have boot or other problems. Use the patch README to verify what is the supported (compatible) OS for this firmware version. Upgrading to Sun System Firmware 6.2.4 (or later) requires Solaris[TM] 10 Update 1 (or later) to be installed. The system may experience boot or other problems with earlier version of Solaris.
