Updating a remote server

Steps:​

  1. Acquire all necessary files for platform update against the target server.

    Sample command：

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

  2. Flash the update packages in out-of-band mode to the target server.

    Sample command:

    OneCli.exe update flash --bmc userid:password@bmcip --dir C:\pkg --uselocalimg --platform
    Note

    • OneCLI restarts the server automatically after some components are updated, for example, Hard Drive and Broadcom NX1 Network adapters. Use the following command to skip these updates and avoid restarting the server.

      OneCli.exe update flash --bmc userid:password@bmcip --dir C:\pkg --uselocalimg

    • The --fileserver parameter is mandatory for SystemX and optional for ThinkSystem. When using this parameter on the ThinkSystem servers, port 6990 must be enabled.

      Sample command:

      --fileserver sftp://user:password@host/tmp/
