racadm Subcommand Man Pages 157Table A-10. fwupdate Subcommand OptionsOption Description-u The update option performs a checksum of the firmware update file and starts the actualupdate process. If this option is typed by itself, it is assumed that a firmware update filehas already been loaded into the RAMdisk using the -g or -p options. This option mayalso be used along with the -g or -p options. After the firmware update file has beenloaded, the update process is started within the same call. At the end of the update, theDRAC 4 performs a soft reset.-w The wait option represents a delay in seconds to wait before proceeding with the update.The -w option is only valid with the -u option.-s The status option returns the current status of where you are in the update process. Thisoption is always typed by itself. Do not type the -s options with other options. If you do,the status will display as if it was the only option typed.-g The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from the TFTPserver and place it in the RAMdisk area. The user may also specify the -a and/or the -f or-d options that are described next. In the absence of the -a or -f options the defaults areread from properties contained in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using propertiescfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.-a The IP Address option specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.-d The -d, or directory, option specifies the directory on the TFTP server or on the DRAC4’s host server where the firmware update file resides. Do not use the -f option with the-d option.-c The -c, or checksum, option allows the user to verify an update file that has been loadedinto the RAMdisk area. The update file can be loaded by one of the two loadingmechanisms (racadm CLI or TFTP). This option essentially gets the size of the firmwareupdate file and calculates the checksum, and verifies the file token. The TFTP interfaceverifies the checksum after loading automatically. This option is used mainly when usingFTP. The -c option is not used with other options. (The -u option will always checksumbefore programming. It can be used along with the -u option).-D After the update is complete, the DRAC 4 is reset. Upon boot, a call is made to reset allfirmware configuration parameters to the default values. For more information,see "racresetcfg."-p The -p, or put, option is used when you want to FTP the firmware update file from themanaged system to the DRAC 4. If the -f option is used, the name of the update imagemust be firming.dm1. The update file is sent by way of FTP into the DRAC 4.Checksum runs on the newly loaded image. If the checksum is not correct, an errormessage is displayed. The user is not required to use fwupdate -s option to do this. If youtype the -u option on the same command line, the update process starts.
