Quick Reference Guide

CMC version 3.00 accepts IPv4, IPv6, or fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for both

FTP and TFTP servers.

NOTE: You can specify the cmc-active and cmc-standby modules at the same time

along with one or more server-n modules. This enables the devices to be updated

together. This option is applicable only for CMC.

When you use the server-generation option, the CMC updates all iDRACs of that

particular generation that can be updated.

NOTE: Verify that the update applied to servers for a particular generation has been

validated for all impacted server models.

Output Displays a message indicating the operation that is being performed.

Example

• Upload the firmware image from the TFTP server and start the firmware update

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d

firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active TFTP firmwareate has been

initiated. This update process may take several

minutes to complete.

• Upload the firmware image from the FTP server and start the firmware update.

racadm fwupdate -f 192.168.0.100 fred password123 -d

firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active

• Start IOM infrastructure firmware update.

racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-1

• Update firmware on both the CMCs.

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d

firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active -m cmc-standby

• Update firmware on multiple servers.

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d

firmimg.imc -m server-1 -m server-2 -m server-3

• Update firmware on servers of iDRAC generation.

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d

firmimg.imc -m server-iDRAC

• Update firmware on multiple IOM infrastructure devices.

racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-4 -m iominf-5 -m

iominf-6

• Query the current status of all firmware targets to be updated.

racadm fwupdate -s -m all

• Download firmware update file from a specified location on the TFTP server at

a specific IP address.

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 143.166.154.143 -d <path>

After the image file is downloaded from the TFTP server, the update process

begins. When completed, iDRAC is reset.

• Read the current status of the firmware update.

racadm fwupdate -s

NOTE: Firmware update from local racadm (using -p -u -d options) is not supported

on linux OS.

NOTE: For CMC, these commands specifically apply to an active-CMC update.

The following table describes the firmware update method supported for each interface.
