Operating Systems Solaris Sun Fire V245 patching issue
# 1  
Old 09-15-2014
Hi Dave,

Generally what happens with this server is that we patch it using lu and once the server is not comming up, we login through the ALOM and enter into ok prompt and revert the server as we have very less downtime agreed by client.
However this time i will first try for and FCA upgrade and then will try to patch the server and see if it works. Also will try to capture the logs and also try to boot it into failsafe mode and see.

Can you please help me regarding FCA firmware from where i can get them as it is mentioned as emlxs, can it be downloaded from Oracle or do we need to approach for EMULEX. Is there any link from where i can get the firmware.

Regards,
Rocky
