fwupdate Command Syntax

The fwupdate command uses the following syntax:

fwupdate subcommand target options

If you use the –-help or –-version options, the fwupdate command does not require subcommands; otherwise a subcommand is mandatory.

When a command fails, it returns one of the failure codes listed in fwupdate Error Codes.

fwupdate supports the subcommands listed in the following table.

Subcommand
Description
list
Provides firmware information about a device or a file. For targets and options specific to the list subcommand, see Listing Component Firmware Information.
check
Check system firmware to see if it is at the minimum required version. For targets specific to the check subcommand, see Checking System Firmware.

Note -  This feature is available with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.3.6 and later. For more information, see the Release Notes.

update
Updates one or more system components based on command-line directives. Devices can be updated automatically using metadata information contained in an XML file (recommended), or updated manually using a firmware image file. For targets and options specific to the update subcommand, see Updating Component Firmware.
reset
Resets the specified device if the device supports a reset. Perform a reset on a device after a manual mode firmware update (if required). In some cases where the metadata used in an automatic mode firmware update does not automatically reset a device that requires one, this subcommand can be used. For targets and options specific to the reset subcommand, see Reset a Device After a Firmware Update.
