Remotely updating firmware for multiple BMC

Steps:​

1. Acquire all necessary files for the multiple BMC by running the following command:

   OneCli.exe update acquire --ostype platform --mt xxxx,xxxx,xxxx --dir C:\pkg
   

2. Input the information of multiple BMC and the configuration parameters to a JSON configuration file.

   Note

   For the JSON configuration file sample, refer to Sample/multi_task_config.json in OneCLI binary or JSON configuration file sample.
3. Input the target server BMC password and the SFTP password to the following multiflash command in the interactive mode.

   OneCLI update multiflash --configfile multi_task_config.json [--sftp user:pass@ip/xx]
   

4. Reflash the multiple server firmware in batch by running the multiflash command.

JSON configuration file sample​

The following is the JSON configuration file sample for the multiflash command:

{
//Set the concurrency number, the max value is 50, if more than 50, use 50 as default
"parallel_number": 50,
//Set start task order by order or by random, 0 is for random; none zero is for order by order.
"parallel_order": 1,
// List of credentials to log in to the servers BMC
"bmc_credential":
{
