The RACADM command-line utility provides a scriptable interface that allows you to remotely congure your Chassis Management
Controller (CMC). The utility runs on the management station and the managed system. It is available on the Dell OpenManage Systems Management and Documentation DVD or at support.dell.com.
The RACADM utility supports the following interfaces:
•SSH or Telnet — Also referred as Firmware RACADM, is accessible by logging in to CMC using SSH or telnet. You do not have to
specify the CMC IP, user name or password to run Firmware RACADM commands.
•Remote — Supports executing RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop. You must
install the DRAC Tools utility from the OpenManage software on the remote computer to run Remote RACADM commands. To
execute Remote RACADM commands, you must formulate the command such as a an SSH/Telnet RACADM command except
that you must also use the –r –i options or the –r –u –p options. For more information about these options, see the "RACADM
Subcommand Details."

fwupdate
Description
Allows you to update the rmware on the active and standby CMC rmware, chassis infrastructure
rmware, and storage component rmware (RAID controller, hard disk drive, and expander). You can:
•Check the rmware update process status.
•Update the rmware from a FTP or a TFTP server by providing an IP address and optional path.
•Update the rmware from the local le system using remote RACADM.
•The subcommand updates one or more devices of a single type at a time.
To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator privilege.
NOTE:
•Running the subcommand to update the active CMC rmware resets the CMC, causing all
network connections to get logged o. While updating all other modules, including the standby
CMC, the active CMC continues to function normally without resetting.
•The subcommand generates an error, when used on the extension slot of a multi-slot server.
•The CMC rmware cannot be updated to any earlier version other than 2.0 for a chassis that is
congured with 1600W PSU.
•CMC rmware update or roll back is supported only for rmware versions 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.31, 1.35,
1.36, 2.0, and later. For any version other than these, rst update to any of these versions, and then
update to the required version.
For 13th generation and later, CMC rmware includes a signature which is veried by CMC before update to
ensure the authenticity of the uploaded rmware. The rmware update process is successful only if the rmware image is authenticated by CMC to be a valid image from the service provider and has not been
altered. The rmware update process is stopped if CMC cannot verify the signature of the uploaded rmware image.
Upload rmware image from TFTP server and start rmware update.
Synopsis
Input
NOTE: Run the rmware update command through only one remote racadm session at a time.
•Using Remote RACADM:
racadm -r fwupdate -p -u -d <firmware image>
NOTE: iDRAC7 targets are not supported from CMC. Use the CMC GUI to update iDRAC7
targets from CMC.
When using FTP, if you provide the full path to the image le on the CLI, then the CMC uses that path
to locate that le on the host. If you do not provide a full path, then the CMC searches the home
directory of the specied user for the le if the host system is running Linux or another variant of UNIX.
If the host system is running Windows, then a default folder, such as C:\ftproot is searched.
NOTE: While performing rmware update using the racadm fwupdate command, if the
number of characters in the rmware image path is greater than 256 characters, Remote
RACADM session logs o with the error message ERROR: Specified path is too long.
•racadm fwupdate -g -u -a 192.168.0.100 -d firmimg.cmc -m cmc-active
NOTE: Firmware update from local RACADM (using the -p, -u, or -d options) is not supported on
Linux operating system.
•-p — The -p option is used to update the rmware le from the client. The -u option must be used with
the -p option.

NOTE: CMC accepts IPv4, IPv6, or fully qualied domain names (FQDN) for both FTP and
TFTP servers.
•-d — Species the source path where the rmware image is stored.
NOTE: The default source path is local Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that
host for the le if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory congured on the
TFTP server.
•-o — Turns o the servers to perform an update.
•-m <module>—
Species the module or device to be updated. <module> is one of the following values:
NOTE: You can also specify multiple modules:
– cmc-active (default)
– cmc-standby
– iominf-n, where n = 1
NOTE: You can specify the cmc-active and cmc-standby modules at the same time along
with one or more server-n modules. This enables the devices to be updated together.

recommended. This command format allows the CMC to
fully support local time zones, including the ability to
automatically adjust the CMC time to the local Daylight
Savings Time.
