In an era of tight IT budgets, many organizations are challenged to optimize existing computing resources. To help this effort, Sun x64 servers give enterprises the freedom to choose from a variety of operating systems, including the Solaris Operating System, SuSE Linux, Red Hat Linux and Microsoft Windows. By keeping the BIOS and firmware up-to-date on these systems, organizations are better able to experience increased performance and take advantage of the latest technology.
This Sun BluePrints article provides detailed instructions on how to perform BIOS and Service Processor updates on Sun x64 servers running the Solaris OS or Linux environments. It is intended for organizations running Sun Fire V20z or Sun Fire V40z servers and Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or Microsoft Windows XP operating environments. It provides step-by-step instructions for updating the BIOS and Service Processor from a system running any of these Microsoft operating environments. In particular, it describes how to share the NSV files with the appropriate permissions, mount the Server Message Block (SMB) share from the Service Processor (SP) on the Sun Fire V20z or Sun Fire V40z server, and perform the update.
