Updating device firmware using RACADM

To update device firmware using RACADM, use the update subcommand. For more information, see the

RACADM Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC available at dell.com/idracmanuals.

Examples:

• To generate a comparison report using an update repository:

racadm update –f catalog.xml –l //192.168.1.1 –u test –p passwd --

verifycatalog

• To perform all applicable updates from an update repository using myfile.xml as a catalog file and

perform a graceful reboot:

racadm update –f “myfile.xml” –b “graceful” –l //192.168.1.1 –u test –p

passwd

• To perform all applicable updates from an FTP update repository using Catalog.xml as a catalog file:

racadm update –f “Catalog.xml” –t FTP –e 192.168.1.20/Repository/Catalog

Scheduling automatic firmware updates

You can create a periodic recurring schedule for iDRAC to check for new firmware updates. At the

scheduled day and time, iDRAC connects to the specified network share (CIFS or NFS) or the FTP, checks

for new updates and applies or stages all applicable updates. A log file on the remote server contains

information about server access and staged firmware updates.

Automatic updates are available only with the iDRAC Enterprise license.

You can schedule automatic firmware updates using the iDRAC web interface or RACADM.

NOTE: IPv6 address is not supported for scheduling automatic firmware updates.
