RACADM 185
Output
Displays a message indicating which operation is being performed.
Examples
• 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 RAM disk. Since the
-u option is not present, an update does not
occur.
• racadm fwupdate -s
This option reads the current status of the firmware update.
-D After the update is complete, the DRAC 4 is reset. Upon boot, a call is made
to reset all firmware configuration parameters to the default values. For
more information, see "racresetcfg."
-p The -p, or put, option is used when you want to FTP the firmware update
file from the managed system to the DRAC 4. If the -f option is used, the
name of the update image must be firming.dm1. The update file is sent by
way of FTP into the DRAC 4. Checksum runs on the newly loaded image.
If the checksum is not correct, an error message is displayed. The user is not
required to use fwupdate
-s option to do this. If you type the -u option on the same command line,
the update process starts.
