Table A-10. fwupdate Subcommand Options
Option Description
-u The update option performs a checksum of the firmware update file and
starts the actual update process. If this option is typed by itself, it is
assumed that a firmware update file has already been loaded into the
RAMdisk using the -g or -p options. This option may also be used along
with the -g or -p options. After the firmware update file has been loaded,
the update process is started within the same call. At the end of the
update, the DRAC 4 performs a soft reset.
-w The wait option represents a delay in seconds to wait before proceeding
with the update. The -w option is only valid with the -u option.
-s The status option returns the current status of where you are in the
update process. This option is always typed by itself. Do not type the -s
options with other options. If you do, the status will display as if it was
the only option typed.
-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file
from the TFTP server and place it in the RAMdisk area. The user may
also specify the -a and/or the -f or -d options that are described next. In
the absence of the -a or -f options the defaults are read from properties
contained in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties
cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
-a The IP Address option specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
-d The -d, or directory, option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or
on the DRAC 4’s host server where the firmware update file resides. Do
not use the -f option with the
-d option.
-D After the update is complete, the DRAC 4 is reset. Upon boot, a call is
made to reset all firmware configuration parameters to the default
values. For more information, see "racresetcfg."
