2.7.1.4 Command Syntax Examples
Example 1. The following example shows the command sequence for firmware upgrade of an AMC installed on
a carrier:
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x74 -b 7 hpm upgrade hpm1fw.img
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x74 -b 7 hpm activate
Line 1 puts the new firmware in the flash device, where hpm1fw.img is the image.
Line 2 is used to dynamically load and activate the new firmware.
Example 2. The following example shows the command performing firmware upgrade on the carrier itself:
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm upgrade hpm1fw.img
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm activate
Line 1 puts the new firmware in the flash device, where hpm1fw.img is the image.
Line 2 is used to dynamically load and activate the new firmware.
