fwupdate
Allows you to update the firmware on the KVM, active CMC, standby CMC, iDRAC or an IOM infrastructure
Description
device. You can:
•
Check the firmware update process status.
•
Update CMC from FTP or TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
•
Update CMC from the local file system using Remote RACADM.
•
There can only be a single update operation in progress at any time. In addition, the fwupdate subcommand
may only update one or more devices of a single kind at a time.
To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator privilege.
Signed CMC Firmware Image
•
For 13th generation and later, CMC firmware includes a signature which is verified by CMC before update
to ensure the authenticity of the uploaded firmware. The firmware update process is successful only if the
firmware image is authenticated by CMC to be a valid image from the service provider and has not been
altered. The firmware update process is stopped if CMC cannot verify the signature of the uploaded
firmware image.

NOTE: CMC firmware update is supported only for the firmware versions 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, 4.0, 4.10,
4.11, 4.30, 4.31, 4.45, and 4.5. For any version other than these, first update to any of these versions,
and then update to the required version.
NOTE: The fwupdate command is not supported for iDRAC7 or later. Use the CMC GUI to perform
the operation.
NOTE:
•
Running the fwupdate subcommand to update the firmware on the active CMC resets itself and all
the network connections are dropped. During update of all other modules, including the standby CMC,
the active CMC continues to run normally without resetting.
•
In a chassis supported by DC PSUs, an error message is displayed if you attempt to update the
firmware with a version without DC PSU support.
•
The fwupdate subcommand generates an error when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot server.
•
While Lifecycle Controller is running for racadam commands, you cannot perform other operations
which needs Lifecycle Controller Partition. If the Lifecycle Controller Partition is unreleased (because
of improper closure of racadm command in the partition), then you must wait 20-35 minutes to clear
the Lifecycle Controller Partition
