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 species 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 conguration 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 congured 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.
