FW Update Method

Page 59 highlights

Output Example • -g-The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from the TFTP server. Specify the a -u, and -d options. In the absence of the -a option, the defaults are read from properties in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath. • -p-The -p, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from the managed system to iDRAC. The -u option must be used with the -p option. • Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server. NOTE: The -p option is supported on local and remote RACADM and is not supported with the serial/Telnet/ssh console and on the Linux operating systems. NOTE: The -p option is applicable for both remote and local RACADM proxy commands. However, this option is not supported for local RACADM running on Linux operating systems. • -r-The rollback option is used to roll back to the standby firmware. • -Specifies the FTP server IP address or FQDN, username, and password used for firmware image. Applies FTP download process for firmware update. Displays a message indicating the operation that is being performed. • Uploads a firmware image from the client and start firmware update: racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /tmp/images • Upload firmware image from FTP server and start firmware update: racadm fwupdate -f 192.168.0.10 test test -d firmimg.d7 • Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update: racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images • Query the current status of the firmware update process: racadm fwupdate -s • Rollback to the standby firmware: racadm fwupdate -r • Upload firmware image from TFTP server, start firmware update. After firmware update is complete, delete previous iDRAC configuration: racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images --clearcfg NOTE: Firmware update from local RACADM (using -p -u -d options) is not supported on Linux operating system.

-g
—The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from the TFTP server. Specify the
-
a
-u
, and
—d
options. In the absence of the
—a
option, the defaults are read from properties in the group
cfgRemoteHosts
, using properties
cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr
and
cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath
.
-p
—The
-p
, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from the managed system to iDRAC. The
-u
option must be used with the
-p
option.
Default
: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if
-g
option is absent. If
-g
is used, it
defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.
NOTE:
The
-p
option is supported on local and remote RACADM and is not supported with the
serial/Telnet/ssh
console and on the Linux operating systems.
NOTE:
The
-p
option is applicable for both remote and local RACADM proxy commands. However,
this option is not supported for local RACADM running on Linux operating systems.
-r
—The rollback option is used to roll back to the standby firmware.
—Specifies the FTP server IP address or FQDN, username, and password used for firmware image. Applies FTP
download process for firmware update.
Output
Displays a message indicating the operation that is being performed.
Example
Uploads a firmware image from the client and start firmware update:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /tmp/images
Upload firmware image from FTP server and start firmware update:
racadm fwupdate -f 192.168.0.10 test test -d firmimg.d7
Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update:
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images
Query the current status of the firmware update process:
racadm fwupdate -s
Rollback to the standby firmware:
racadm fwupdate -r
Upload firmware image from TFTP server, start firmware update. After firmware update is complete, delete
previous iDRAC configuration:
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images --clearcfg
NOTE:
Firmware update from local RACADM (using
-p -u -d
options) is not supported on Linux
operating system.
