1 C120-E604-02EN Fujitsu Limited August 4, 2009 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Servers Firmware Installation Procedure 1. Application Notes The firmware is made publicly available as required. Also, for stable operation, Fujitsu recommends using the latest version of this firmware. The server's operating system (OS) will have to be shut down in order to install (apply) this firmware. Be sure to coordinate your system operation schedule in advance for this purpose. The administrator privilege is necessary for updating this firmware. The system will be operated by updated firmware after updating this firmware completely. There are three possible routes by which this firmware can be installed - Installation on an external tftp server via an ILOM network port (Time required for update About 30 minutes(including power off/on)) - Installation on an ILOM Web via an ILOM network port (Time required for update About 30 minutes(including power off/on)) - Installation via the system's internal interface with the server OS (Time required for update About 30 minutes(including power off/on)) To be prepared for unforeseen contingencies, Fujitsu recommends preparing beforehand, an environment that will support installing this firmware via an ILOM network port. The firmware version number may change when parts related to the firmware are replaced. Also, after such parts are replaced, it is not possible to confirm the original firmware version. To continue to use the original version of firmware after part replacement, have the system administrator confirm the firmware version and store the firmware patches for it beforehand. Please confirm the current firmware version before installing the firmware. -> show /HOST sysfw_version Fujitsu recommends storing the firmware settings before installing the firmware. [The procedures of storing the firmware settings] 1) Login ILOM, and execute the following commands. (ILOM2.0) -> show /SP -level all -o table -> show /SYS -o table -> show /HOST -level all -o table (ILOM3.0) -> set /SP/config passphrase=passphrase -> set /SP/config dump_uri=uri 2) Login ALOM CMT shell, and execute the following command. sc> showsc 3) Get OBP(Open Boot Prom), and execute the following commands. {0} ok printenv {0} ok printenv nvramrc 1

2 2. Preparing Firmware Patches This section describes the procedure for downloading and extracting the firmware patches.
