• Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update.
For SSH or Telnet or Serial:
Synopsis
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <tftp_server_ip_address_or_FQDN> -d <path> [-m
<module>]
racadm fwupdate -f <ftp_server_ip_address_or_FQDN> <username> <password> -d
<path> [-m <module>]
racadm fwupdate -u -m iominf-<n>
racadm fwupdate -s [-m <module>]
racadm fwupdate -c [-m <module>]
For Remote RACADM:
racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <path> [-m <module>]
racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active
When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image file on the CLI, then the CMC uses that path to
locate that file on the host. If full path is not provided and the host system is running Linux or another variant
of UNIX , then CMC searches the home directory of the specified user for the file. If the host system is running
Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.
NOTE: When attempting to run firmware update task, if the firmware image path length is greater
than 256 characters, remote RACADM client exits with the error message "ERROR: Specified
path is too long".
NOTE: When attempting to run firmware update task using racadm fwupdate command, if the
firmware image path length is greater than 256 characters. Remote RACADM client exits with the
error message "ERROR: Specified path is too long".
Input • —u — Performs the firmware update operation (used with -p and -g).
• —s — Displays the status of the firmware update. Use this option by itself. Lists active SD card features
and SD card status.
NOTE: Use —m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display the status of the active
CMC update.
NOTE: The value all is used only to obtain the status of all targets to update.
• -g — Downloads the firmware update using the TFTP server.
• -a — The IP Address option specifies the TFTP server IP address, used with -g option.
Specifies the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the firmware image (used with -g).
• -d — The -d, or directory option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or on CMC's host server,
where the firmware update file resides.
Specifies the source path where the firmware image resides.
Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it
defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.
• -p — Stops the current firmware update of a module.
• -m <module> — Specifies the module or device to be updated. <module> is one of the following
values:
– cmc-active — default state if –m is not specified.
– cmc-standby
