Reference Guide
• Upload rmware image from TFTP server and start rmware update.
Synopsis
For SSH or Telnet or Serial:
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 <path> [-m <module>]
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active
When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image le on the CLI, then the CMC uses that path to
locate that le on the host. If full path is not provided and the host system is running Linux or another variant
of UNIX , then CMC searches the home directory of the specied user for the le. If the host system is running
Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.
NOTE: When attempting to run rmware update task, if the rmware image path length is greater
than 256 characters, remote RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified
path is too long".
NOTE: When attempting to run rmware update task using racadm fwupdate command, if the
rmware image path length is greater than 256 characters. Remote RACADM client exits with the
error message "ERROR: Specified path is too long".
