Reference Guide

For Remote RACADM:

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

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.10 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active

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 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 specified user for the file. 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, if the firmware 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 firmware update task using racadm fwupdate

command, if the firmware image path length is greater than 256 characters.

Remote RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified path

is too long"

Input • —u — Performs the firmware update operation (used with -p and -g).

• —s — Displays the status of the firmware update. Use this option by itself. Lists active

SD card features and SD card status.

NOTE: Use —m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display the

status of the active CMC update.

NOTE: The value all is used only to obtain the status of all targets to update.

• -g — Downloads the firmware update using the TFTP server.

• -a — The IP Address option specifies the TFTP server IP address, used with -g

option.

Specifies the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the firmware image (used

with -g).

• -d — The -d, or directory option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or on

CMC’s host server, where the firmware update file resides.

Specifies the source path where the firmware image resides.

Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g option is

absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.

• -p — Stops the current firmware update of a module.

NOTE: This option is only supported on the remote interface(s).

• -m <module> — Specifies the module or device to be updated. <module> is one of

the following values:

– cmc-active — default state if –m is not specified.

– cmc-standby

– kvm

– server-<n> — where n=1–16

– server-<nx> — where n=1–8; x = a, b, c, d (lower case)

– server-<g> <generation> — where generation = iDRAC or iDRAC6 only.
