For example something like ./BIOS_78R68_LN_2.7.0.BIN -q or ./BIOS_78R68_LN_2.7.0.BIN -r -q [root@vs07 ~]# ./BIOS_78R68_LN_2.7.0.BIN --help Command-line options for the Update Package Usage: <package name> [options...] Options: -h,--help : Display command-line usage help -c : Determine if the update can be applied to the system (1) -f : Force a downgrade to an older version. (1)(2)-q : Execute the update package silently without user intervention
-n : Execute the update package without security verification -r : Reboot if necessary after the update (2) -v,--version : Display version information --list : Display contents of package (3)--installpath=<path> : Install the update package in the specified path only if options (2) and (8) are supported.
--extract <path> : Extract files to specified path (3)(4)-qi, --queryinventory : Inventory if selective update is supported. (2) (5) -su=<device list> or --selectiveupdate=<device list> : give the list of devices to update.(2) (6) (7)
(1) Can NOT use -f with the -c option (2) Only takes effect if used with -q (3) Can be used only before extracting the package (4) Can NOT use --extract with any other option(5) Can use only with -q option. Can NOT be used with -f, -c, -h, -n, -r, -v, --list, --extract, -su
(6) Can NOT be used with -c, -h, -n, -v, --list, --extract, -qi (7) Device list should not contain any space. (8) Only Application DUP supports. On 01/10/2018 06:27 PM, Patrick Boutilier wrote:
What I would do is download the BIOS update file once and then create a script to rsync it to the 1500 hosts and run the update.
