T2000 Alom Upgrade

Hi guys!

I need to upgrade the fw version of some T2000 servers, but unfortunately the image downloaded from the Oracle does not work...it seems that the image is not supported on the platform..


bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS adm01 5.10 Generic_141414-07 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
-bash-3.00$ isainfo -kv
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules



The patch is the 139434-06, and it worked for other T2000 ALOM upgrade...
Any ideas???

Thanks!

u need to go inside the directory 139434-06 and run the following :

Code:
./sysfwdownload  Sun_System_Firmware-6_7_8-Sun_Fire_T2000.bin

it will take sometime to download the firmware . after dat follow the steps :

Code:
 
init 0

go to sc and poweroff the server amd run the following commands

Code:
 
setkeyswitch -y normal
flashupdate -s 127.0.0.1
resetsc

if the above doesnt work then ur current firmware is too old to support the script sysfwdowload...

IN that case u have to put the firmware package in some other server.
assign IP for your net managemnet port and flashupdate using ftp.

Did you make sure, that the keyswitch is not in the "locked" position?

@ningy
I don't use sysfwdownload; I'm connected to the netmgt and i'm using the ftp!


@hergp
Keyswitch is in the normal position..

Another possibility: is this machine a SunFire T2000 or a Netra T2000? There are different patches for these two machines (139434 for the SunFire and 139436 for the Netra version).

It's a Netra T2000; ok the Oracle support guys gave me the wrong patch number...and we have different hw on test bed than in the production environment...Smilie

Thanks!Smilie
