Remarks
This CLI starts the Enable Firmware Update Mode process and updates the VC domain status to
FIRMWARE_UPDATE
.
This command returns the result of the start firmware update operation by enabling VCSU 1.7.0
or later to update the VC firmware in the domain. The VCEMCLI command does not carry out the
actual firmware update. The firmware update is performed by VCSU.
If any domain in the domain group is already in maintenance mode, no domain in that domain
group can be put into firmware update mode. Similarly, while a domain in the domain group is
in firmware update mode, no domain in the domain group can be put into maintenance mode.
