Updating the Server from a Remote Client

This utility can be executed remotely via a secure network connection using a Telnet Client

and Terminal Services in Windows*, or using a Telnet Client and Remote Shell under Linux. See

your operating system documentation for further information on remotely logging-in and

executing commands.

Once you have logged-in remotely, you can use the syntax described above. This process can

be scripted to allow remote updates of multiple servers.

Note to Users:

• After performing CFG based update using flashupdt utility, it is highly recommended to

perform a power cycle. Continuous updates through CFG file without power cycle/reboot

in between could cause system unstability.

• Starting from S1200BT, S1400, S1600, S2400, S2600, and S4600 platforms the

flashupdt utility or otherwise known as OFU utility supports preserving OEM data

through CFG file based update. For details of usage and command please refer to the

white paper “Supporting OEM Activation 2.x on Intel® Server Boards”.

• For CFG based update it is assumed that the HTTP/FTP server does not require any user

name password. In order to access password protected servers, please change the

chaff2l.sh or the batch file and include the username/password.

The defualt in the .sh file -

./curl $1 -o $2 -s

For password protected server please change the above as below -

./curl $1 --user admin:pwd -o $2 -s

where admin and pwd are the username and password respectively.
