can someone confirm that no downtime is needed for ALOM 1.6 upgrade on V440 is needed
I can find nothing in patch Readme
* ALOM_1.6.10_fw_hw0.tar.gz - ALOM 1.6.10 Firmware for Sun Fire V125, V210, V240, V250, V440, and Netra 210, 240 and 440
Section 2. Installing the ALOM Firmware From the Solaris OS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use the telnet, rlogin or ssh command through the network to log into the
system as superuser.
Caution: Do not attempt this procedure while logged into the system
through the SERIAL MGT port.
2. Change directories as follows:
# cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib
3. If there is no images subdirectory, create one:
# mkdir images
4. Change to the images directory:
# cd images
5. Place this file in the images directory:
ALOM_1.6.10_fw_hw0.tar.gz
6. Unpack the tar file: gzcat ALOM_1.6.10_fw_hw0.tar.gz | tar xf -
The following files will be created:
README (this file)
copyright
Legal/ (directory containing Licence, Entitlement and Third Party Readmes)
alombootfw (boot image file)
alommainfw (main image file)
7. Load the boot image file alombootfw into the System Controller hardware:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download boot alombootfw
8. When the scadm utility completes, wait 60 seconds.
9. Load the main image file alommainfw into the System Controller hardware:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download alommainfw
Approximately 120 seconds after the scadm utility completes, ALOM
is available for use.
As I understand I just must wait for the scadm utility to complete and all is fine.
Does the Alom Card then reset?
