4.3.6 Dump collection
If you want to collect the dump during system boot, use the following command. The following command
example generates a dump of the CPU module 0. The system must be running in duplex mode for you to use
this method.
# /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint dump 0
Generated dump of the device at path 0.
In the result, the dump for the ESXi host is saved in /var/core/vmkernel-zdump-MMDDYY.HH:mm.n on the
ESXi host.
4.3.7 Updating BMC firmware
Use the following command to update the BMC firmware.
# /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint burnBmcs fw_file
1. Login to ftSys Management Appliance as a root user.
2. Use the SCP command or vSphere Client to store the BMC firmware file in the desired directory of ftSys
Management Appliance.
In the example below, ft control software Install DVD is mounted and BMC firmware file is copied to ftSys
Management Appliance.
# cp /mnt/cdrom/firmware/bmc/2700_4700_6400/062-01210bmc_Bnn.nnRnn.nnP
nn.nnSnn.nn.bin /opt/ft/firmware/bmc/2700_4700_6400

modules 0 and 1.
