How to Update the Fallback Image

This procedure applies to those systems that have service processors (SPs) with the fallback miniroot installed. Whenever you update to an SRU version on the host, you must also update the fallback image.

Note - The fallback image's Readme file also provides the same instructions for updating the fallback image. Make sure to refer to that document for additional information related to the image.

Access your MOS account at https://support.oracle.com

On the support web page, search for Doc ID 2045311.1 (Oracle Solaris 11.3 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index ).

This index lists the different SRU versions with links to their corresponding fallback boot images.

Download the SRU version's fallback image.

At the ILOM prompt, check the version of the current image to verify that you do not have the latest version installed already.

Code:

-> show /SP/firmware/host/miniroot version

  /SP/firmware/host/miniroot
    Properties:
        version = fallback-5.11-0.175.2.9.0.5.0

At the ILOM prompt, update the fallback image.

Code:

-> load -source  http://webserver.example.com/fallback/fallback.pkg

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.

       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
