I have an old sparc T5220 server which had been running solaris 10 for sometime now. I ran some patches on the server and when i rebooted, it got stucked at

SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_153153-04 64-bit
Copyright (c) 1983, 2021, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
Ethernet address = 0:21:28:13:4a:d6

When i tried booting using boot -sv , it stucked at

st2 at fp5: unit-address w5001438016052ea5,0: 20a00
st2 is /pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@a/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/st@w5001438016052ea5,0
/pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@a/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/st@w5001438016052ea5,0 (st2):
    <HP      Ultrium 5-SCSI  >
/pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@a/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0/st@w5001438016052ea5,0 (st2) online

So, i decided to do a reinstall of the OS using solaris 11.3 iso via the ilom redirection but i cant find rcdrom.

Any help in fixing the boot failure or reinstall of the os would be appreciated.

So i've been able to fix this by upgrading the firmware of the server from the ilom cli.

All is fine now
