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.
Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update.
