Use the load command to transfer an image file from a source, indicated by a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI), to update ILOM firmware. The URI can
specify a protocol and credentials used for the transfer. Only the TFTP protocol is supported, so the URI must begin with tftp://
. If credentials are required
and not specified, the command prompts you for a password. Using the -script option eliminates the prompt for a yes or no confirmation and the command acts as
if yes were specified.
load -source URI
-> load -source tftp://<
ipaddress>/newmainimage
A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure. An upgrade takes about five minutes to complete. ILOM will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset.
-> load -source tftp://archive/newmainimage
