Input
• —u — The update option performs a checksum of the rmware update le and starts the actual update
process. This option may be used along with the —g or —p options. At the end of the update, iDRAC
performs a soft reset.
• —s — This option returns the status of the update process.
• -a — The -a option species TFTP server IP address used for rmware image. This option must be used
with the -g option.
• -clearcfg — The -clearcfg option removes the previous iDRAC conguration after rmware update.
• -g — The get option instructs the rmware to get the rmware update le from the TFTP server. Specify
the -a -u, and —d options. In the absence of the —a option, the defaults are read from properties in the
group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and
cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.
• -p — The -p, or put, option is used to update the rmware le from the managed system to iDRAC. The -
u option must be used with the -p option.
• Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the le if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it
defaults to a directory congured on the TFTP server.
