Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1381794.1 : How to upgrade firmware on the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE NEM and troubleshoot issues with this NEM:ATR:1381794.1:0
In this Document
Applies to:Sun Blade 6000 System - Version: Not ApplicableInformation in this document applies to any platform. GoalGive advice on firmware upgrade procedures for virtualised 10GBE 540-7695and data gathering procedures for such configuration SolutionDISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED: B6000 and SAS knowledge - TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes - TASK COMPLEXITY:0 FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS: - PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Instructions for upgrading various firmware components of the Sun Blade 6000 10GBE VMF NEM - WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?: All Blades within the chassis should be brought down before performing work on this NEM - WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE: To update NEM ILOM Firmware. 1. Download latest patch for Sun Blade 6000 10GBE VMF NEM Firmware from My Oracle Support Patches and Updates. 2) Unzip patch and required file will be in the Firmware directory with a name similar to ILOM-2_0_3_12-Sun_Fire_X4238.pkg 3) Note the NEM ILOM must have its own valid IP address and parameters defined to upgrade firmware. 4) Update the ILOM firmware by using browser method or ILOM CLI method see Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User's Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19720-01/index.html To update SAS expander firmware Note – The Sun Blade 6000 disk modules and Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE NEMs must always be upgraded to the same firmware revision level. 1) Note there are two different methods used to upgrade the firmware Common Array Manager (CAM) or Oracle Hardware Management Pack using the fwupdate tool. 2) If Common Array Manager (CAM) is required see page 119- 125 of Sun Blade 6000 10 GbE Virtualized Multi-Fabric Network Express Module User’s Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19677-01/index.html 3) If the Oracle Hardware Management Pack is required then see Oracle® Server CLITools http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20451_01/index.html and reference the section entitled "Using the fwupdate Tool" LSIUTIL If the Raid Expansion module installed is LSI based then many of the tasks concerning this NEM and related hardware will require the use of lsiutil and the saving and restoring of persistent mapping. For details about this utility and when its use is required then refer to Appendix B of the Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module Administration Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19045-01/blade.6000disk/index.html To Update the Main Power Firmware See page 7 of Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10 GbE Network Express Module Product Notes http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19677-01/index.html 1. Download the following patch from My Oracle Support 11884182 2. Unzip the p11884182_221_Generic.zip file then unzip Power_Sequencer/NEMHydraPwrUpd10.zip The following files that are needed to upgrade the power sequencer will now be available. ■ update_nem0_mainpwr.sh- Script to upgrade NEM in slot 0 ■ update_nem1_mainpwr.sh- Script to upgrade NEM in slot 1 ■ nem_pwr_ver.sh- Displays the version of NEM power firmware ■ adm1066_update- Binary to update power sequencer firmware (runs on the CMM) ■ main_pwrseq_rev110304.hex- Modified power sequencer firmware to prevent unexpected shutdowns Note – Make sure that you have execute permissions on these files. If you do not have execute permissions, use the chmod +x command on the files before copying them to the CMM. 3. Enter escalation mode on the CMM see following MOS document CMM access to escalation mode (Doc ID 1353684.1) https://support.us.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?_afPfm=e 4. From within the ILOM bash shell (escalation mode) use scp to copy required files to to the /coredump directory cd /coredump scp [email protected]:/home/user_name/TEMP/Power_Sequencer/* 5. Check current status of power sequencer firmware ./nem_pwr_ver.sh If power sequencer firmware has been updated the following is displayed otherwise the values displayed are 0. Nem (slot 0) main power version: 04 03 11 Nem (slot 1) main power version: 04 03 11 6. Update the NEM in slot 0, with the following command: ./update_nem0_mainpwr.sh 7. If necessary, update the NEM in slot 1: ./update_nem1_mainpwr.sh Note – Each command may take more than two minutes to complete. 8. Power cycle the Virtualized NEMs Note that there is no power cycle facility within the NEM ILOM so the easiest way to do this is the following commands from within the CMM ILOM cli (normal root log in) stop /CH check state of NEMs to ensure they have been powered off show /CH/NEM0/STATE value show /CH/NEM1/STATE value then restart chassis start /CH 9. From escalation mode (ILOM bash shell) check the upgrade is complete /coredump/nem_pwr_ver.sh (see step 5 for required output) OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE - WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE: PARTS NOTE: REFERENCE INFORMATION: Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10 GbE Network Express Module Product Notes http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19677-01/index.html Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE Network Express Module User’s Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19677-01/index.html CMM access to escalation mode (Doc ID 1353684.1) https://support.us.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1353684.1 NEM Hydras's Main Power Shuts Down Unexpectedly (Doc ID 12222158.1) https://support.us.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1222158.1 Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User's Guide http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19720-01/index.html Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 documentation. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/index.html Attachments This solution has no attachment |
