fwupdate and Service Processor Access
When accessing a service processor, fwupdate can be used over a local Host-to-ILOM interconnect or a remote Ethernet network connection. When issuing a fwupdate command that accesses the service processor, credentials are not required when using the Host-to-ILOM interconnect, but they are required for a network connection.
Note -
For systems with an Oracle ILOM version earlier than 3.2.4, to use a LAN interface (either the Host-to-ILOM interconnect or Ethernet network connection) you must manually include credentials using the -H and -U options for commands that access a service processor. If credentials are not provided the commands will default to the slower local KCS interface to access the local service processor.
The credential options listed in the following table are supported for fwupdate when accessing a service processor over a network connection.
|
|
|
|
–H
|
–-remote-hostname
|
This option is followed by the host name or IP address of a remote service processor.
|
|
–U
|
–-remote-username
|
This option is followed by the user name with root access used to log in to a remote service processor.

When using these options to access a service processor over a network connection, you must use
both options together.
Note -
The password required by the network connection can be piped in on stdin for scripting
use.
