Output

Displays a message indicating which operation is being performed.

Examples

•racadm fwupdate -g - a 143.166.154.143 -f firmimg.dm1

In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware update file from a location (specified by the -f option) on the TFTP server at a specific IP address (specified by the -a option). The update file is then loaded into RAMdisk. Since the -u option is not present, an update does not occur.

•racadm fwupdate -s

This option reads the current status of the firmware update.

•racadm fwupdate -u

The -u option starts the update process. This command assumes that a valid firmware update file has been previously loaded using the -g or -p option. The update file checksum is verified for correctness before proceeding.

•racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 143.166.154.143 -f firmimg.dm1

In this example, the -g option tells the firmware to download the firmware update file from a location (specified by the -f option) on the TFTP server at a specific IP address (specified by the -a option). The update file is then loaded into RAMdisk. The -u option tells the firmware to proceed with the update after the firmware is loaded.

Updating the Firmware

If you use the -foption, specify the firmimg.dm1 file.

If you are updating your firmware locally, use one of the following commands to update your firmware:

racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <directory> racadm fwupdate -p -u -f <filename>

Example:

racadm fwupdate -p -u -d \my\updatefiles\path

racadm fwupdate -p -u -f \my\updatefiles\path\<filename>

If you are updating your firmware remotely, use the following command to update your firmware:

racadm -r <RAC_IP> -u <user> -p <password> fwupdate -g -u -a

<TFTP_IP> -d <TFTP_dir_path>

NOTE: The -p option does not support remote firmware updates.
