Input

• —u — The update option performs a checksum of the

firmware update file 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.

• -g — The get option instructs the firmware to get the

firmware update file 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 firmware

file 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 file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a

directory configured 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

firmware.
