Table 2-9. fwupdate Subcommand Options
Option Description
-u For iDRAC: The update option performs a checksum of the firmware update file
and starts the actual update process. This option may be used along with the -g
or -p options. At the end of the update, iDRAC6 performs a soft reset.
For CMC: Performs the firmware update operation.
-s For iDRAC: The status option returns the current status of where you are in
the update process. This option is always used by itself.
For CMC: Displays the current status of the firmware update.
NOTE: Use -m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display
the status of the active CMC update.
NOTE: The all value can only be used to obtain the status of all targets to be
updated.
-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from
the TFTP server. You must also specify the -a, -u, and -d options. In the
absence of the -a option, the defaults are read from properties contained in
the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr
and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
For CMC: Downloads the firmware update using the TFTP server.
-a The IP Address option specifies the TFTP server IP address, used with -g
option.
For CMC: Specifies the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the
firmware image (used with -g).
-d For iDRAC: The -d, or directory, option specifies the directory on the TFTP
server or on iDRAC6’s host server where the firmware update file resides.
For CMC: Specifies the source path where the firmware image resides.
Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g
option is absent. If -g is used, defaults to directory configured on the TFTP
server.
