##

Before You Begin

Prior to performing the procedures in this chapter, you should ensure that the following requirements are met.

- Before you can use SNMP to view and configure ILOM settings, you must configure SNMP. For more information, see Preparing Your System to Use SNMP.

- To execute the `snmpset` command, you need to use an SNMP v1 or v2c community or an SNMP v3 user with read/write (rw) privileges.

- For examples of SNMP commands, see SNMP Command Examples.

Note - The example SNMP commands presented in this section are based on the Net-SNMP sample applications and, therefore, will only work as presented if you have Net-SNMP and the Net-SNMP sample applications installed.

Configuring ILOM Firmware Interfaces

### View and Configure ILOM Firmware Settings

Note - You can use the `get` and `set` commands to view and configure ILOM firmware settings. For a description of the MIB objects used in these commands, see the SUN-ILOM-CONTROL-MIB.

1. Log in to a host that has an SNMP tool and the ILOM MIBs installed. For example, type:

`ssh` username`@`snmp_manager_ipaddress

`Password``:` password

2. Refer to the following SNMP command examples:

- To view the version of the current firmware image, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtVersion.0

- To view the build number of the current firmware image, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtBuildNumber.0

- To view the build date and time of the current firmware image, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtBuildDate.0

- To view the IP address of the TFTP server that will be used to download the firmware image, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPServerIP.0

- To set the IP address of the TFTP server that will be used to download the firmware image, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPServerIP.0 s ipaddress

- To view the relative path of the new firmware image file on the TFTP server, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPFileName.0

- To set the relative path of the new firmware image file on the TFTP server, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareTFTPFileName.0 s ‘tftpfilename’

- To view the property that determines whether the previous configuration of the server should be preserved after a firmware update, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwarePreserveConfig.0

- To set the `PreservConfig` property to true so that the previous configuration of the server is preserved after a firmware update, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwarePreserveConfig.0 i 1

- To view the property that indicates the status of a firmware update, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtStatus.0

- To view the property that is used to initiate a firmware update using the values of the other firmware management properties as parameters, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0

- To set the property so as to initiate a firmware update using the values of the other firmware management properties as parameters, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0 i 2

- To clear the values of the other firmware management properties used if and when a firmware update is initiated, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtAction.0 i 1

- To view the version of the current firmware management file system, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareMgmtFilesystemVersion.0

- To view the property that is used to postpone the BIOS upgrade until the next server power off, type:

    % snmpget -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareDelayBIOS.0

- To set the `DelayBIOS` property to postpone the BIOS upgrade until the next server power off, type:

    % snmpset -mALL -v2c -cprivate SNMP_agent_ipaddress ilomCtrlFirmwareDelayBIOS.0 i 1
