Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-Based Interface

1Log in to the Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC Using the Web-Based Interface" on page 31.

2Click Chassis in the system tree.

3Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page is displayed.

4On the Updatable Components page, click the CMC name. The Firmware Update page is displayed.

5In the Value field, type the path on your management station or shared network where the firmware image file resides, or click Browse to navigate to the file location.

NOTE: The default CMC firmware image name is firmimg.cmc and the filename should not be changed. Care must be taken to keep different firmware revisions separated as the file name always remains the same.

6Click Update. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm the action.

7Click Yes to continue. The firmware transfer process begins and the status displays the message Firmware Update in Progress. Once the CMC update is complete, the CMC is reset. Once the reset is complete, you must refresh the User Interface page to then log in again.

Updating the CMC Firmware Using RACADM

1Open a CMC command line console and log in.

2Type:

racadm fwupdate -g -u -a <TFTP server IP address> -d <filepath> -m <cmc-activecmc-standby>
