Updating Firmware Images and Monitoring the PDU Power Status

Viewing the FCB Firmware Version Information

NOTE:

The following procedure uses NET-SNMP, a free SNMP tool for Linux

systems, available at www.net-snmp.org, as an example.

1 Launch the NET-SNMP utility.
2 Use the snmpset command to view firmware version information.

snmpget -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67 .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.2.0
Sample output:

Monitoring the External PDU Power Status and

Updating the PDU PMC Firmware

The PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure is primarily connected to an external

PDU. The external PDU includes a power management controller (PMC)

board that is integrated with an Ethernet connector and supports SNMP v2c

that allows you to monitor the PDU power supply modules over the network

and send traps or notifications when critical situations occur.

Before You Begin

1 Install a SNMP utility on your computer. You can install a commercial or a

free SNMP utility.

2 Install a TFTP server software on your computer.

TFTP is used with the SNMP v2c command line interfaces to transfer files

to and from the PDU PMC, update the PMC firmware and modify the

PMC configuration information.
If you are using Linux, install a TFTP server from your distribution.
If you are using Windows, install a commercial or free TFTP server.

[root@localhost ~]# snmpget -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.2.0
