The following procedure describes how to perform a comparison
of the installed firmware versions on a local system to the latest
versions of firmware available on the Web using removable media.
Prerequisite: The local system
must have Internet access.
- Insert the removable media into the system, and if necessary,
mount the removable media.
- On a command line, change to the directory for the removable
media.
- Enter the following command to collect system information:
lnvgy_utl_dsa_dsalxxx-10.x_portable_platform -ux [-x] [-v] [-text]
where the platform is the supported operating system.
When the comparison is finished, the analysis is written
to a compressed CIM-XML output file by default. You can also create
HTML output by specifying the -v option and ASCII
text output by specifying the -text option. If you
specify the -x option, compressed CIM-XML output
is not created, and you must specify the -v or -text option,
or both.
Note: Internet access is required for the -ux option.
