CLI Guide

NOTE: Run the rmware update command through only one remote racadm session at a time.
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 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 specied 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".
