Quick Reference Guide

firmware is corrupted. There can only be a single update operation in progress

at any time. In addition, the fwupdate subcommand may only update one or

more devices of a single kind at a time.

To use this subcommand for CMC, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator

privilege and for iDRAC you must have Configure iDRAC permission.

NOTE:

• Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the firmware on the active

CMC resets itself and all the network connections are dropped. During

update of all other modules, including the standby CMC, the active CMC

continues to run normally without resetting.

• In a chassis supported by DC PSUs, an error message is displayed if you

attempt to update the firmware with a version without DC PSU support.

NOTE:

The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension

slot of a multislot server.

Synopsis For iDRAC:

racadm fwupdate -s

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <TFTP_Server_IP_Address>

[-d <path> [--clearcfg]

racadm -r <iDRAC7 IP_Address> -u <username> -p <password>

fwupdate -f <ftpserver ip> <ftpserver username>

<ftpserver password> -d <path> where path is the location

on the ftp server where firming.d7 is stored.

racadm fwupdate -r

racadm fwupdate -p -u [-d <path>]

For CMC:

For local RACADM:

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 <firmware image>

NOTE:

iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. To update iDRAC7 targets, use

the CMC GUI.

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.
