Note

The ApplyTime Property determines when the FW Updates takes effect

  • OnReset (Default) - Update to new firmware version on the next reboot.

  • Immediate - Flashes the PMC immediately.

You can use the following GET/SET commands for queerying and changing this parameter.

Please note the NVFWUPD 2.0.9 script switches to Immediate Apply Time setting as part of its FW Update Process

GET ApplyTime property:

curl -k -u $USER:$PASS -X GET https://<PMC_IP>/redfish/v1/UpdateService

SET ApplyTime property to Immediate:

curl -k -u $USER:$PASS -X PATCH 'https://<PMC_IP>/redfish/v1/UpdateService' -d'{"HttpPushUriOptions": {"HttpPushUriApplyTime": {"ApplyTime": "OnReset"}}}' -H'Content-Type: application/json'

Method 1 - Firmware Update for Power Shelf using NVFWUPD tool#
