Quick Reference Guide

fwupdate

Description Allows you to update the firmware on the iKVM, active CMC, standby CMC, server

iDRACs, or an IOM infrastructure device. You can:

• Check the firmware update process status.

• Update iDRAC or CMC firmware from a FTP or a TFTP server by providing an IP

address and optional path.

• Update iDRAC or CMC firmware from the local file system using Local and

Remote RACADM.

• Rollback to the standby firmware.

• This subcommand performs updates to the iDRAC firmware (if CMC firmware

version is 2.0 or later and 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.

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.
