l racadm fwupdate -g - a 143.166.154.143 -f firmimg.dm1
In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware update file from a location (specified by the -f option) on the TFTP server at a
specific IP address (specified by the -a option). The update file is then loaded into RAMdisk. Since the -u option is not present, an update does not occur.
l racadm fwupdate -s
This option reads the current status of the firmware update.
l racadm fwupdate -u
The -u option starts the update process. This command assumes that a valid firmware update file has been previously loaded using the -g or -p option.
The update file checksum is verified for correctness before proceeding.
l racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 143.166.154.143 -f firmimg.dm1
In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware update file from a location (specified by the -f option) on the TFTP server at a
specific IP address (specified by the -a option). The update file is then loaded into RAMdisk. The -u option tells the firmware to proceed with the update
after the firmware is loaded.
Updating the Firmware
If you use the -f option, specify the firmimg.dm1 file.
If you are updating your firmware locally, use one of the following commands to update your firmware:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <directory>
racadm fwupdate -p -u -f <filename>
Example:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d \my\updatefiles\path
racadm fwupdate -p -u -f \my\updatefiles\path\<filename>
If you are updating your firmware remotely, use the following command to update your firmware:
racadm -r <RAC_IP> -u <user> -p <password> fwupdate -g -u -a <TFTP_IP> -d <TFTP_dir_path>
