Description
The fwupdate subcommand allows the caller to update the firmware on the
DRAC 4. The user may:
• Start updating a firmware update file that has previously been loaded into
the RAMdisk update area.
• Check the status of the firmware update process.
• Instruct the DRAC 4 firmware to get the firmware update file from a
TFTP server and load it into the RAMdisk area.
The user may specify the IP address and path/filename or IP address and
directory, or use the default values found in the database. The user may
also specify that the update be started after loading, or to terminate and
make a separate call to start the update process.
• Load the update file into the DRAC 4 RAMdisk area.
