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.

• The subcommand generates an error, when used on the extension slot of a

multi-slot server.

• The CMC firmware cannot be updated to any earlier version other than 2.0

for a chassis that is configured with 1600W PSU.

• CMC firmware update or roll back is supported only for firmware versions 1.2,

1.25, 1.3, 1.31, 1.35, 1.36, 2.0, and later. For any version other than these, first

update to any of these versions, and then update to the required version.

For 13th generation and later, CMC firmware includes a signature which is verified by

CMC before update to ensure the authenticity of the uploaded firmware. The

firmware update process is successful only if the firmware image is authenticated by

CMC to be a valid image from the service provider and has not been altered. The

firmware update process is stopped if CMC cannot verify the signature of the

uploaded firmware image.
