SYNOPSIS

ipmiutil fwum [-mixNUPREFJTVY] parameters

DESCRIPTION

This ipmiutil fwum subcommand updates IPMC firmware using Kontron OEM Firmware Update Manager.

This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N.

OPTIONS

Command line options are described below.

-i 00: This option specifies a specific FRU ID to show. The input value should be in hex (0b, 1a, etc.), as shown from the sensor SDR output. The default FRU ID is zero (0).
-m 002000: Show FRU for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', or IPMB addressing if 'i' or not present.
-x: Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.
-N nodename: Nodename or IP address of the remote target system. If a nodename is specified, IPMI LAN interface is used. Otherwise the local system management interface is used.
-U rmt_user: Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username.
-P/-R rmt_pswd: Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password.
-E: Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD.
-F drv_t: Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i, kcs, smb. Note that lan2i means lan2 with intelplus. The default is to detect any available driver type and use it.
-J: Use the specified LanPlus cipher suite (0 thru 17): 0=none/none/none, 1=sha1/none/none, 2=sha1/sha1/none, 3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none, ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40. Default is 3.
-T: Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.
-V: Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level.
-Y: Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. Alternatives for the password are -E or -P.
