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.
