Examples
• racadm fwupdate -g - a 143.166.154.143 -f firmimg.dm1
In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware
update file from a location (specified by the
-f option) on the TFTP server
at a specific IP address (specified by the
-a option). The update file is then
loaded into RAMdisk. Since the
-u option is not present, an update does
not occur.
• racadm fwupdate -s
This option reads the current status of the firmware update.
-c The -c, or checksum, option allows the user to verify an update file that
has been loaded into the RAMdisk area. The update file can be loaded
by one of the two loading mechanisms (racadm CLI or TFTP). This
option essentially gets the size of the firmware update file and calculates
the checksum, and verifies the file token. The TFTP interface verifies
the checksum after loading automatically. This option is used mainly
when using FTP. The -c option is not used with other options. (The -u
option will always checksum before programming. It can be used along
with the -u option).
-p The -p, or put, option is used when you want to FTP the firmware
update file from the managed system to the DRAC 4. If the -f option is
used, the name of the update image must be firming.dm1. The update
file is sent by way of FTP into the DRAC 4. Checksum runs on the newly
loaded image. If the checksum is not correct, an error message is
displayed. The user is not required to use fwupdate -s option to do this.
If you type the -u option on the same command line, the update process
starts.
