# metalcloud-cli firmware-policy

Manage server firmware upgrade policies and global firmware configurations

## Synopsis

Manage server firmware upgrade policies and global firmware configurations.

Firmware policies define rules for automatically upgrading server firmware based on
server properties like OS, server type, or instance groups. Global firmware
configuration controls when and how firmware upgrades are applied system-wide.

Available commands:
  list                    List all firmware policies
  get                     Get firmware policy details
  create                  Create a new firmware policy
  update                  Update an existing firmware policy
  delete                  Delete a firmware policy
  generate-audit          Generate compliance audit for a policy
  apply-with-groups       Apply policies linked to server instance groups
  apply-without-groups    Apply policies not linked to server instance groups
  config-example          Show firmware policy configuration example
  global-config           Manage global firmware configuration

Examples:
  ## List all firmware policies
  metalcloud-cli firmware-policy list

  ## Create a new policy from JSON file
  metalcloud-cli firmware-policy create --config-source policy.json

  ## Apply all policies linked to server groups
  metalcloud-cli firmware-policy apply-with-groups
