CLI Guide

• -g—The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file 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 firmware file 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 file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it

defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.

NOTE: The -p option is supported on local and remote RACADM and is not supported with the

serial/Telnet/ssh console and on the Linux operating systems.

NOTE: The -p option is applicable for both remote and local RACADM proxy commands. However,

this option is not supported for local RACADM running on Linux operating systems.

• -r—The rollback option is used to roll back to the standby firmware.

• —Specifies the FTP server IP address or FQDN, username, and password used for firmware image. Applies FTP

download process for firmware update.

Output

Displays a message indicating the operation that is being performed.

Example

• Uploads a firmware image from the client and start firmware update:

racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /tmp/images

• Upload firmware image from FTP server and start firmware update:

racadm fwupdate -f 192.168.0.10 test test -d firmimg.d7

• Upload firmware image from TFTP server and start firmware update:

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images

• Query the current status of the firmware update process:

racadm fwupdate -s

• Rollback to the standby firmware:

racadm fwupdate -r

• Upload firmware image from TFTP server, start firmware update. After firmware update is complete, delete

previous iDRAC configuration:

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d /tmp/images --clearcfg

NOTE: Firmware update from local RACADM (using -p -u -d options) is not supported on Linux

operating system.
