Output
Displays a message indicating which operation is being performed.
Examples
• racadm fwupdate -g -u - a 143.166.154.143 -d
<path>
In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware
update file from a location (specified by the
-d option) on the TFTP server
at a specific IP address (specified by the
-a option). After the image file is
downloaded from the TFTP server, the update process begins. When
completed, the DRAC 5 is reset.
If the download exceeds 15 minutes and times out, transfer the firmware flash
image to a local drive on the server. Then, using Console Redirection, connect
to the remote system and install the firmware locally using local racadm.
• racadm fwupdate -s
This option reads the current status of the firmware update.
-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file
from the TFTP server. The user must also specify the -a and -d options.
In the absence of the -a option, 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 5’s host server where the firmware update file resides.
-p The -p, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from the
managed system to the DRAC 5. The -u option must be used with the -
p option.
