FWUpdate command from within the Embedded UEFI Shell

For systems configured in either boot mode, update the firmware:

1. Access the System ROM Flash Binary component for your server from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website. When searching for the component, always select OS Independent to locate the binary file.
2. Copy the binary file to a USB media or iLO virtual media.
3. Attach the media to the server .
4. Boot to Embedded Shell.
5. To obtain the assigned file system volume for the USB key, enter the Map –r command.

   For more information about accessing a file system from the shell, see the UEFI Shell user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

6. Change to the file system that contains the System ROM Flash Binary component for your server . Enter one of the fsx file systems available, such as fs0 or fs1, and press the Enter key.
7. Use the cd command to change from the current directory to the directory that contains the binary file.
8. Enter the fwupdate –d BIOS -f <filename> command to flash the system ROM.

   For help on the FWUPDATE command, enter the following command:

   help fwupdate -b

9. Reboot the server .

   A reboot is required after the firmware update for the updates to take effect, and for hardware stability to be maintained.

For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the UEFI Shell user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
