Quick Reference Guide

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.

To use this subcommand for CMC you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator

privilege and for iDRAC you must have Configure iDRAC permission.

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.

NOTE: The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension

slot of a multi-slot server.

Synopsis For iDRAC:

racadm fwupdate -s

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <TFTP_Server_IP_Address>

[-d <

path>]

racadm -r <iDRAC7 IP_Address> -u <username> -p <password>

fwupdate -f <

ftpserver ip> <ftpserver username>

<ftpserver password> -d <path> where path is the location

on the ftp server where firming.d7 is stored.

racadm fwupdate -r

racadm fwupdate -p -u [-d <path>]

For CMC:

For local RACADM:

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <tftp server ip address or

FQDN

> -d <path> [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -f <ftp server ip address or FQDN>

<username> <password> -d <path> [-m

<module>]

racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-<n>

racadm fwupdate -s [-m <module>]

racadm fwupdate -c [-m <module>]

For 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 file on the CLI, then the CMC

uses that path to locate that file on the host. If you do not provide a full path, then the

CMC searches the home directory of the specified user for the file 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: When attempting to run firmware update task using racadm fwupdate

command, if the firmware image path length is greater than 64 characters. Remote

RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified path is too long".
