fwupdate
NOTE: To use this subcommand, you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
Description
Updates the firmware on the iKVM, active CMC, standby CMC, server
iDRACs, or an IOM infrastructure device. This subcommand also performs
updates to the iDRAC firmware (if the CMC firmware version is 2.0 or later
and the iDRAC firmware version is 1.4) when the existing firmware is
corrupted. There can only be a single update operation in progress at any
time. In addition, the fwupdate subcommand may only update one or more
devices of a single kind at a time.
NOTE: Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the firmware on the active
CMC resets itself causing all network connections to be dropped. During update of
all other modules, including the standby CMC, the active CMC continues to run
normally without resetting.
