Patching and Upgrades - Oracle Exadata Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach - page 346

Run the patch prerequisite steps by executing ibswitchchecksh pre from the /tmp
directory:

3.

[root@cm01sw-ib2 12373676]# ./ibswitchcheck.sh pre|grep ERROR
[ERROR] Switch is at target patching level
[ERROR] Entry in /etc/hosts for FQN cm01sw-ib2.centroid.com does not
match hostname=cm01sw-ib2
Overall status of pre check is ERROR
[root@cm01sw-ib2 12373676]#

In the previous output, we see errors with fully qualified name resolution in /etc/hosts as well as a message
indicating that our switch is already at the current patch level. You can ignore the FQN error message. Normally, if
your switch is already at the proper patch level, you would stop now, but for the purposes of this recipe we will apply
the patch anyway. To proceed, type spsh to enter the ILOM command line interface and load the patch:

[root@cm01sw-ib2 tmp]# spsh
Oracle(R) Integrated Lights Out Manager
Version ILOM 3.0 r47111

-> load -source /tmp/sundcs_36p_repository_1.3.3_2.pkg
NOTE: Firmware upgrade will upgrade the SUN DCS 36p firmware.
ILOM will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No
other tasks should be performed in ILOM until the firmware
upgrade is complete.
Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
Setting up environment for firmware upgrade. This will take few minutes.

These messages indicate that our switch is already patched to this firmware level. Upon successful completion and
based on directions in the README file, validate that /conf/configvalid file contains a single line with the number 1 in it:

[root@cm01sw-ib2 tmp]# cat /conf/configvalid
1
[root@cm01sw-ib2 tmp]#
