Netra X4270 .flash file needed for ilom recovery using preboot

Question

According documentation to recover corrupted ilom the preboot> can be used to load Ilom image file directly via tftp.
Problem is that updating the SP firmware using the preboot menu requires a .flash file instead of the .pkg file used to update the SP from the ILOM.
And I cannot find it anywhere on oracle.com or anywhere else.

Dear User,
you controlfile and the Systemtablespace (datafile) have different items concerning the SCN. It means, that the status quo of
Systemtablespace is not the same as the controlfile
Therefore the system needs a Media Recovery.
The system tells you, that it needs the specified archivelog File
(C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\flash_recovery_area\ARCHIVELOG\u_a.ARC) for Media Recovery
(maybe a few Files more - the system will tell you later).
Make sure that this File exists and recover like orant575 wrote.
If you have define the destination of archivelog Files in your init.ora/spfile you can
use return or auto
The system will apply the File.
If the system needs more Files for Recovery it will tell you.
If you use auto, the system will apply automatically all files it needs (if there exists otherwise you get ORA-).
If you use return, you have to approve with return (if there exists otherwise you get ORA-)
or
use the way orant575 wrote
When all needed operations applied the item (SCN) of controlfile and the Datafile will be the same, the system will answer
Media Recovery complete or something like that.
If the database is not in archivelog, you have to recover a consistent earlier reincarnation of the database.
best of luck
