10.3.5 BIOS Utility Command Line Options
Table 97 lists the command line parameter switches available in the BIOS flash utility. In the table,
all command line promontories are indicated for flashdos, where command line options use “/”.
When using flashlnx instead of flashdos, replace “/” with “-”.
Table 96. Suggested Method of BIOS Image Synchronization prior to BIOS Upgrade
BIOS Image Command Behavior
This is the original FWH image before an upgrade.
FWH0 has Image N installed, which is a newer image
than what is installed in FWH1 (Image N-1).
./flashlnx –m User can initiate a BIOS update while the OS is
running.
When this command is invoked, Image N in FWH0
(BIOS codes + CMOS settings) is synchronized to
FWH1. Image N has now been copied to the backup
FWH1 BIOS image
No reboot is needed for this operation.
./flashlnx –b Pxx-xxxx When this command is invoked, the FWH0 image is
updated to the latest version (Image N+1).
The latest version of the BIOS will take effect after
the user initiates a reset.
If a checksum error is detected on FWH0 after a
reboot, it will automatically switch to FWH1 and
regain normal operation.
NOTE: N = BIOS version.
