load

This command is available to Administrators.

Purpose

Use this command to transfer an image file from a source, indicated by a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI), to update the service processor firmware. The URI can specify a protocol and credentials used for the transfer. Only the TFTP protocol is supported, so the URL must begin with tftp:// . If credentials are required and not specified, the command prompts you for a password.

Syntax

load -source <URI>

Example

-> load -source tftp://archive/newmainimage

NOTE: 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 20 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.
