fcu—Firmware Upgrade Command-Line Utility
Description
The Firmware Upgrade Command-line Utility (FCU) allows you to

Query the current versions of firmware installed on the ATCA-7360/7365 and determine
which firmware devices are active

Verify that a specified upgrade image is sound and compatible with the current hardware

Upgrade a firmware image

Mark a device to be used as the boot source on the next reset

Show the version of a specified firmware image file and compare the version of a specified
firmware image file with the version of an installed firmware image
By default, the FCU binary executable is installed in /opt/bladeservices/bin. This
directory has been added to the PATH environment variable.
FCU works in conjunction with device drivers created specifically for the flash devices on
Artesyn blades.
The FCU verify and upgrade operations require specially prepared FRI or HPM files (see
Firmware Recovery Image Files on page 57).
FCU also relies on the Hardware Platform Management Agent daemon to interact with the
local IPMC. Most commands will fail if the HPM Agent is not running. For information on
configuring and running HPM Agent, see Chapter 5, Hardware Platform Management, on page
71.
