• —u — The update option performs a checksum of the firmware update file and starts the actual update process. This option may be used along with the —g or —p options. At the end of the update, iDRAC performs a soft reset.
• —s — This option returns the status of the update process.
• -a — The -a option specifies TFTP server IP address used for firmware image. This option must be used with the -g option.
• -clearcfg — The -clearcfg option removes the previous iDRAC configuration after firmware update.

• -g — The get option instructs the firmware to get the firmware update file from the TFTP server. Specify the -a -u, and —d options. In the absence of the —a option, the defaults are read from properties in the group cfgRemoteHosts, using properties cfgRhostsFwUpdateIpAddr and cfgRhostsFwUpdatePath.

• -p — The -p, or put, option is used to update the firmware file from the managed system to iDRAC. The -u option must be used with the -p option.

• Default: Designated TFTP default directory on that host for the file if -g option is absent. If -g is used, it defaults to a directory configured on the TFTP server.

• -r — The rollback option is used to roll back to the standby firmware.

• — Specifies the FTP server IP address or FQDN, username, and password used for firmware image. Applies FTP download process for firmware update.

Displays a message indicating the operation that is being performed.
