Input
• —u — The update option performs a checksum of the rmware update le and starts the actual update process.
This option may be used along with the —g or —p options. At the end of the update, iDRAC performs a soft reset.
• —s — This option returns the status of the update process.
• -a — The -a option species TFTP server IP address used for rmware image. This option must be used with
the -g option.
• -clearcfg — The -clearcfg option removes the previous iDRAC conguration after rmware update.
• -g — The get option instructs the rmware to get the rmware update le from the TFTP server. Specify the -
a -u, and —d options. In the absence of the —a option, the defaults are read from properties in the group
cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
• -p — The -p, or put, option is used to update the rmware le from the managed system to iDRAC. The -u
option must be used with the -p option.
• Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the le if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it
defaults to a directory congured on the TFTP server.
NOTE: The-p option is supported on local and remote RACADM and is not supported with the serial/
Telnet/ssh console and on the Linux operating systems.
•
-r — The rollback option is used to roll back to the standby rmware.
