Recovering from Corrupt Service
Processor Software
If the SP (service processor) software becomes corrupted, you can reinstall the default
SP software image. If an upgrade fails, or if the firmware image becomes corrupt,
choose one of the following methods to recover the SP software:
■
Preboot menu
: See
Section 3.8.1, “Recovering the SP Firmware Image using the
Preboot Menu” on page 3-36
.
■
IPMIflash
: See
Section 3.8.2, “Recovering the SP Firmware Using IPMI” on
page 3-37
.
Refer to the corresponding ILOM supplement for detailed preboot and IPMI
information.
3.8.1
Recovering the SP Firmware Image using the
Preboot Menu
The preboot menu provides the ability to recover the ILOM firmware image by
updating (flashing) the SP firmware.
Normally, you can update the SP using the ILOM CLI or the web interface. Refer to
the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager documentation for details.
If you are unable to access the ILOM to update the firmware, you can use this
procedure to update it using the preboot menu.
3.8.1.1
Prerequisites
You must have a valid
.flash
firmware image file on a tftp server. This file is
available on the tools and drivers DVD, and on the Oracle download site:
http://support.oracle.com
Note –
Updating the SP firmware using the preboot menu requires a
.flash
file
instead of the
.pkg
file used to update the SP from the ILOM.
