Use the acquire command to download firmware and device driver updates, or update information, for supported devices, identified by machine type or package fixid, from a remote location such as Lenovo or IBM support.
For an IMM target, updates can include IMM, UEFI, and DSA firmware and firmware or device drivers for optional devices.
For a CMM target, updates can include CMM firmware and I/O module firmware.
acquire command syntax
Onecli.exe update acquire --mt <machine_type> [--ostype <operating_system>] [--scope <scope>] [--includeid <includeids>] [--report] [--metaonly] [--type <type>] [--proxy <userid:password@IP[:port]>] [--dir <folder>] [--output <folder>]
| Parameter | Required/Optional | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| --mt | Optional | machine_type specifies the four-digit machine type of target device (IMM or CMM). If the --scope parameter is set to individual, the machine type is not required. For the I/O module target, the CMM machine type is specified. |
| --ostype | Optional | operating_system specifies operating system where you are running the ToolsCenter Suite CLI. Valid choices are win2008, win2012, win2012r2, win2016, rhel5, rhel6, rhel7, sles10, sles11, sles12, esxi5.0, esxi5.1, esxi5.5, esxi6.0, and none. None is the default setting and is used for operating system independent operations, such as xFW OOB updates. The --ostype parameter is not required for CMM or I/O module targets. |
| --scope | Optional | scope specifies the update scope. Valid choices are:
For the CMM and I/O module targets, the --scope parameter can only be set to latest or individual. |
| --dir | Optional | folder specifies the path name location of the firmware package download directory. If no directory is specified, the current directory is used for downloads. |
| --includeid | Optional | The ids can be a comma-separated list that specifies the package IDs which are usually the package file name without file extension to acquire. For example: lnvgy_dd_sraidmr_7.700.20.00_sles12_x86-64 By default: none is included. If the --includeid parameter is not specified, all packages are downloaded. If the --includeid parameter is specified, only the listed packages are downloaded: if no packages are listed, none are downloaded. |
| --report | Optional | If the --report parameter is specified, the acquire command will only output the IDs of the packages to update without downloading the packages or their metadata. |
| --metaonly | Optional | If the --metaonly parameter is specified, the acquire command will download only the XML files specifying the metadata for the update packages without downloading the update packages. |
| --proxy | Optional | userid:password@IP[:port] specifies the proxy information for connecting to the Lenovo Support website to download update packages or information. Note: Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. Enclose IPv6
addresses in brackets. For example, [FE80::3BA7:94FF:FE07:CBD0]. If the IPv6 is LLA (Link Local IPV6), the format is [FE80::3BA7:94FF:FE07:CBD0%xxx]. Replace xxx with the name of the interface through which
either the service processor or the sftp server (for the --sftp argument)
can be reached on the local network of the OS on which the ToolsCenter
Suite CLI runs.
|
| --type | Optional | type specifies the type of package to download. Valid choices are:
For the CMM and I/O module targets, only firmware can be downloaded. |
| --output | Optional | folder specifies the path name location and file name for the log file. By default, the log file output is saved to the ../Onecli-%PID%-%date%-%time%/ directory with a file name of ToolsCenter Suite CLI-update-scan.xml. Existing files are overwritten. Make sure that unique file names are specified, if multiple CLI commands are being run at the same time. |
