Exporting firmware updates

You can export individual firmware updates and UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSPs) that exist in the repository to the local system.

About this task

Only firmware updates that exist in the repository are exported. Ensure that the download-status for the selected firmware updates is Downloaded.

All of the files that are associated with the firmware update are exported, including the update image or payload file (.zip, .bin, .uxz, or .tgz), metadata file (.xml or.json), change history file (.chg), and readme file (.txt). Note that for ThinkSystem V3 servers, the metadata file is included in the payload file and is not exported separately.

Attention
Do not change the name of the firmware update files.
