Table 5. fwupdate — Details (continued)
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 192.168.0.10 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active
racadm fwupdate -r [-m <module>]
racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u <username> -p <password> fwupdate -p -u -d
firming.cmc
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".
