AND HERE IS THE ANSWER:

get patch 103346... the revision number of the patch will is also the final
part of the OBP number. So I installed 103346-22 on my E4x00 servers and
got
OBP 3.2.22. This is not a true patch in the usual sense. Instead there is
a
file in there that you run that updates all the proms on your server. This
patch is also not OS dependent. Definitely, *definitely* read the README
file in there before you start.

and yet another answer:

Actually, I think the newest OBP version is now 3.2.23... Go to
http://access1.sun.com and type enterprise prom in the search box at the
bottom
of the page. The results should show the flash-update link at the top of
the
list, and clicking on the link will show you details about the update, and
instructions for putting them to use.
