280 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.
