Acquiring update packages for a target server

Pre-requisite: Refer to Network requirement of the acquire command.

Before applying updates to a target server, users should get the latest update packages for that specific server. OneCLI provides the function to acquire the package.

Typically, users can run a single OneCLI command to acquire the latest UXSP (recommended update stack) from Lenovo site for the target server according to the specific machine type and operating systems.

To acquire the latest UXSP to c:\pkgs\, which can then be updated/installed inside an RHEL7 installed on server xxxx, see the following sample command:

OneCli.exe update acquire --mt xxxx --ostype rhel7 --dir c:\pkgs
Note
Users can acquire updates for an OS different from the one where OneCLI runs. For example, run OneCLI on Windows to acquire a UXSP for RHEL7
