flash update fails

Hi

I am trying to update firmware of SF V440 but I am getting below error,
Code:
Sun Fire V440, No Keyboard
Copyright 1998-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.10.10, 4096 MB memory installed, Serial #56988021.
Ethernet address 05:30:b0:56:a1:3d, Host ID: 8356a25d.



Rebooting with command: boot disk /flash-update-SunFire440            
Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/disk@0,0  File and args: /flash-update-SunFire440
-
Can't open /flash-update-SunFire440

Warning: Fcode sequence resulted in a net stack depth change of 1

ls -al /flash-update-SunFire440
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root     2534420 Jan 12 12:51 /flash-update-SunFire440


The same firmware file worked on another SF V440 and version got upgraded.

Any idea what could be this issue? If OS helps then it is Solaris 10u8

ThanksSmilie

try to use the script inside the patch to install the new firmware.

Code:
unix.flash-update.SunFire440.sh

Thank you, i just did that , and it worked using script, still wondering what is the problem that it did not work from OBP.
