fwupdate
Table 20. Details of fwupdate
Description
Allows you to update the firmware on the server iDRACs device. You can:
● Check the firmware update process status.
● Update iDRAC firmware from FTP or TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
● Update iDRAC firmware from the local file system using Local and Remote RACADM.
● Roll back to the standby firmware.
Allows you to update the firmware on the KVM, active CMC, standby CMC, iDRAC or an IOM
infrastructure device. You can:
● Check the firmware update process status.
● Update CMC from FTP or TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
● Update CMC from the local file system using Remote RACADM.
● There can only be a single update operation in progress at any time. In addition, the fwupdate
subcommand may only update one or more devices of a single kind at a time.
NOTE: CMC firmware update is supported only for the firmware versions 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, 4.0, 4.10,
4.11, 4.30, 4.31, 4.45, and 4.5. For any version other than these, first update to any of these versions,
and then update to the required version.
To use this subcommand, you must have Configure iDRAC permission.
To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
NOTE: The fwupdate command is not supported for iDRAC7 or later. Use the CMC GUI to perform the
operation.
NOTE:
● Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the firmware on the active CMC resets itself and
all the network connections are dropped. During update of all other modules, including the standby
CMC, the active CMC continues to run normally without resetting.
● In a chassis supported by DC PSUs, an error message is displayed if you attempt to update the
firmware with a version without DC PSU support.
● The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot
server.
● While Lifecycle Controller is running for racadm commands, you cannot perform other operations
which need Lifecycle Controller Partition. If the Lifecycle Controller Partition is unreleased (because
of improper closure of racadm command in the partition), then wait 20-35 minutes to clear the
Lifecycle Controller Partition
