Problem with Upgrading firmware on X4500
I have X4500 running solaris 10 with 5.10 version. The ILOM version is 1.1.1 and I want to upgrade the firmware. I setup the TFTP server on my machine using the following link.
A P P E N D I X C - Updating the Firmware
I could install the tftp server and could transfer a file as well. When I use tftp localhost and use get command it works fine. But when I login to my ILOM port and give the IP address of my X4500 machine it say's connection timed out and firmware upgrade failed.
I use load -source tftp://134.197.38.228/ilom.X4500-1.1.8.ima.
Someone please help me with this. I have a problem using Web GUI and I have got only this option to upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
