stopped, if CMC cannot verify the signature of the uploaded rmware image. A warning event is
then logged and an appropriate error message is displayed.
NOTE: Run the rmware update command through only one remote racadm session at
a time.
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 le on the CLI, then the CMC uses
that path to locate that le on the host. If you do not provide a full path, then the CMC
searches the home directory of the specied user for the le 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 rmware update using the racadm fwupdate command,
if the number of characters in the rmware image path is greater than 256
characters, Remote RACADM session logs o with the error message ERROR:
Specified path is too long.
NOTE: While performing rmware CMC rmware upgrade if the uploaded rmware
image le does not contain a verication signature or it contains a verication
signature, which is not valid or corrupted, the following message is displayed:
Invalid firmware: The firmware image validation was
unsuccessful
NOTE: While performing CMC rmware downgrade, if the current CMC rmware
does not recognize the computed signature of the earlier version, the following
message is displayed:
Firmware downgrade is unsuccessful: a downgrade to this
firmware version is not supported

Input
NOTE: Firmware update from local RACADM (using the -p, -u, or -d options) is not
supported on Linux operating system.
• -p — The -p option is used to update the rmware le from the client. The -u option must
be used with the -p option.
• -f — The FTP is used to download the rmware.
•
-g — For CMC, the rmware is downloaded using the TFTP server.
• -u — The rmware update operation is performed.
• -a — Species the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the rmware image (used
with -g).
NOTE: CMC accepts IPv4, IPv6, or fully qualied domain names (FQDN) for both
FTP and TFTP servers.
• -d — Species the source path where the rmware image is stored.
NOTE: The default source path is local Default: Designated TFTP default directory
on that host for the le if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory
congured on the TFTP server.
• -o — Turns o the servers to perform an update.
• -m < module > —
Species the module or device to be updated. < module > is one of the following values:
NOTE: You can also specify multiple modules: –m <module 1> –m <module 2> , and
so on.
