T4-1 firmware update?

I just picked up a cheap T4 to play with...does anyone happen to have an recent firmware update for it? It's running a firmware form 2017 so not terribly out of date.


I threw Solaris 11.4 on there on a DVD. I am curious as to how booting an ISO works from USB also if anyone has any info on that. The manuals are vague as to how that actually works.



I'll probably end up running either Gentoo natively or in an LDOM as the main operating system, potentialy doing some compilation for older machines also.



Thanks!

Use the cached firmware and index file(s) only. -D | --debug Enable debugging output. COMMANDS
