Rlm Firmware Ndu - IBM N Series Hardware Manual

20.5 RLM firmware NDU

The RLM is a remote management card that is installed in N6000 and N7000 series
controllers. It provides remote platform management capabilities such as remote platform
management, remote access, monitoring, troubleshooting, and logging. The RLM is
operational regardless of the state of the controller, and is available if the controller has input
power. The RLM firmware can be updated by the Data ONTAP command-line interface or the
RLM command-line interface. Both procedures are nondisruptive upgrades of the RLM
firmware.
Perform nondisruptive upgrades by downloading the latest RLM firmware from the IBM
Support site to a web server on a network accessible by the controller. After the firmware is n
downloaded, use one of these methods to download the firmware to the RLM:
From the Data ONTAP command-line interface:
From the controller console, issue the following command to install the firmware:
software install http://web_server_name/path/RLM_FW.zip -f
The installation can take up to 30 minutes to complete. To update the files after
installation, use the rlm update –f command.
From the RLM command-line interface:
Issue the following command to install the firmware:
update http://web_server_ip_address/path/RLM_FW.tar.gz -f
Then reboot the RLM with the rlm reboot command.
