RACADM 213
-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from
the TFTP server and place it in the RAM disk area. The user may also
specify the -a and/or the -f or -d options that are described next. In the
absence of the -a or -f options the defaults are read from properties
contained in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties
cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
-a The IP Address option specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
-d The -d, or directory, option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or on
the DRAC 4’s host server where the firmware update file resides. Do not use
the -f option with the -d option.
-c The -c, or checksum, option allows the user to verify an update file that has
been loaded into the RAM disk area. The update file can be loaded by one of
the two loading mechanisms (racadm CLI or TFTP). This option essentially
gets the size of the firmware update file and calculates the checksum, and
verifies the file token. The TFTP interface verifies the checksum after
loading automatically. This option is used mainly when using FTP. The -c
option is not used with other options. (The -u option will always checksum
before programming. It can be used along with the -u option).
-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.
