Input
NOTE: Firmware update from local RACADM (using the -p, -u, or -d options) is not supported
on Linux operating system.
• -p — The -p option is used to update the firmware file from the client. The -u option must
be used with the -p option.
• -f — The FTP is used to download the firmware.
• -g — For CMC, the firmware is downloaded using the TFTP server.
• -u — The firmware update operation is performed.
• -a — Specifies the TFTP server IP address or FQDN used for the firmware image (used
with -g).
NOTE: CMC accepts IPv4, IPv6, or fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for both FTP
and TFTP servers.
• -d — Specifies the source path where the firmware image is stored.
NOTE: The default source path is local 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.
• -o — Turns off the servers to perform an update.
• -m < module >—
Specifies the module or device to be updated. < module > is one of the following values:
NOTE: You can also specify multiple modules: –m <module 1> –m <module 2> , and so

– cmc-standby
– iominf-n, where n = 1
NOTE: You can specify the cmc-active and cmc-standby modules at the
same time along with one or more server-n modules. This enables the
devices to be updated together.
– main-board
– perc-fqdd, where fqdd is FQDD of the PERC
– expander-fqdd, where fqdd is FQDD of the Storage Expander
– hdd-fqdd, where fqdd is FQDD of the HDD
• -s — Displays the current status of the firmware update.
NOTE: Use -m to display the status of the module update. Omit -m to display the
