Obtaining the update (flash) recommendation
Syntax
--flashrec
-fr
Description
The output of the --flashrec command includes the recommended action and the severity of
the recommended action. The update recommendation action can be one of the following:
• UPGRADE: The active firmware version of the component is lower than the qualified version
and should be upgraded.
• DOWNGRADE: The active firmware version of the component is higher than the qualified
version and should be downgraded.
• NONE: The active firmware version of the component is equal to the qualified version. No
action is needed unless you want to force a rewrite of the firmware in the case of the current
firmware being corrupt.
The severity of the recommended action can be one of the following:
• MANDATORY: It is critical to update the firmware for optimal performance and system stability.
• RECOMMENDED: It is optional to update the firmware from a functionality standpoint. However,
it is highly recommended to update the firmware for system stability.
The output also contains information about the reboot requirement of a component for a successful
firmware update, where necessary.
A verbose report includes additional information such as approximate flash duration, dependent
components, and so on.
