fwupdate

Description

Allows you to update the firmware on the active and standby CMC firmware, chassis

infrastructure firmware, and storage component firmware (RAID controller, hard disk drive, and

expander). You can:

• Check the firmware update process status.

• Update the firmware from a FTP or a TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional

path.

• Update the firmware from the local file system using remote RACADM.

• The subcommand updates one or more devices of a single type at a time.

To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.

NOTE: Running the subcommand to update the active CMC firmware resets the CMC,

causing all network connections to get logged off. While updating all other modules,

including the standby CMC, the active CMC continues to function normally without resetting.

NOTE: The subcommand generates an error, when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot

server.

Synopsis

• Using Remote RACADM:

racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <firmware image>

NOTE: iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. Use the CMC GUI to update

iDRAC7 targets from CMC.

When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image file on the CLI, then the CMC

uses that path to locate that file on the host. If you do not provide a full path, then the

CMC searches the home directory of the specified user for the file if the host system is

running Linux or another variant of UNIX. If the host system is running Windows, then a

default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.

NOTE: While performing firmware update using the racadm fwupdate

command, if the number of characters in the firmware image path is greater than 256

characters, Remote RACADM session logs off with the error message ERROR:

Specified path is too long.
