ATCA-MF106 Installation and Use (6806800M62B)

This option is a shortcut for performing the verify, upgrade, and mark operations. The file
option -f is required. This option should not be combined with other operations.

-r

--activate

This command is available for IPMC devices and images which conform to the HPM.1 standard.

HPM.1 compliant IPMCs store a redundant set of firmware images which may have the states
operational, rollback or deferred. Using the --activate option, you can set the state of the
addressed firmware bank to "operational". Unlike the --mark option, the --activate
command does not affect the payload operation, this means you can set a previously "rollback"
firmware bank to "operational" without rebooting or resetting the payload. The target IPMC is
immediately functional after switching to the new firmware.

You can obtain the current states of the firmware banks by using the -q command. The state
appears as part of the bank name, for example: "B - Rollback".

-b

--bank=

Specifies a flash bank (A or B, for example), where is the letter designating a
specific bank. This option can be used with the mark or activate operation. Use the query
option -q to list available banks.

-d

--device=

Specifies a target firmware device, where is the name of the device. This option
is used with the mark or query operations. Device ID values vary by hardware. You can display
supported devices on a given blade by using fcu --help. Currently supported values are
listed in the following table.
