Full Discussion: T5 Firmware clarification
Operating Systems Solaris T5 Firmware clarification Post 302982676 by Peasant on Saturday 1st of October 2016 11:10:19 PM
Old 10-02-2016
I would recommend using sysfwdownload -u <fw>.pkg from hypervisor OS.

This package will update all the firmware(s) required (ALOM, System etc.), be sure to read the README first!.

As for release required, this really depends what you need / want, check out this link :
Minimum Supported Versions of the Firmware, OS, and Software -
SPARC T5-2 Server Product Notes.

Depending on the services ran on the machine, firmware compatibility can come in question in some cases like Oracle VM (LDOMS) live migration, booting hypervisor from EFI labled disks and similar.

I have no issues in running specified firmware (9.6.5.a) on solaris 11.2.14.5 and 11.3.7.6 hypervisors on t5 machines.

Notice, i had some bugs on 11.3.8.6 with network LDC channel resets while making changes to virtual machines, which is fixed (haven't tested this) in latest 11.3 release from Oracle site.

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
