Specifies the module or device to be updated. <
module
> is one of the following
values:
— cmc-active (default)
— cmc-standby
— kvm
— server-nx where
n
=1-8 ;
x
= a,b,c,d
— server-generation where generation = iDRAC or iDRAC6 only.
— iominf-n where n = 1–6
NOTE: iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. Use the CMC GUI to update
iDRAC7 targets from CMC.
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.
