update
Table 103. Details of update
Description
Allows you to update the rmware of devices on the server. The supported rmware image le types are:
• .exe — Windows-based Dell Update Package (DUP)
• .d7
• .pm
The supported catalog les are:
• .xml
• xml.gzip
NOTE: Updating the platforms from the repository is not supported for IPv6.
NOTE: Depending on the network trac, the HTTP packet transfer may fail if you perform update
operation from a remote RACADM through a local share. In such cases, retry the operation. If the issue
persists, use remote RACADM with the CIFS or NFS share.
