[InstanceID]: The instanceID is the SoftwareIdentify instanceID that represents the firmware that

is to be updated. This instanceID can be retrieved as described in Section 6.2. For example, the

instanceID can be:

DCIM:INSTALLED:PCI:14E4:1639:0237:1028

 It is installed firmware on a PCI device.

 VID (Vendor ID)= 14E4

 DID (Device ID) = 1636

 SSID (Subsystem ID) = 0237

 SVID (Subvendor ID) = 1028

 This refers to a Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 network adaptor

EXAMPLE:

wsman invoke -a InstallFromURI http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-

schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService

?CreationClassName=DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService,

SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem,SystemName=IDRAC:ID,

Name=SoftwareUpdate

-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443

-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD

-J UpdateInputNIC.xml -j utf-8 -y basic

The above command takes in an input file named UpdateInputNic.xml to supply input parameters

required for the InstallFromURI() method.

The syntax for UpdateInputNIC.xml is:

<p:InstallFromURI_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-

schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_SoftwareInstallationService">

<p:URI>http://[URI-IP-ADDRESS]/[PATH-TO-EXE]/[FILE.exe]</p:URI>
