# metalcloud-cli firmware-policy global-config update

Update global firmware configuration settings

## Synopsis

Update global firmware configuration settings that control system-wide firmware upgrade behavior.

This command allows you to modify the global firmware configuration which acts as
a master control for all firmware upgrade operations. You can enable/disable
firmware upgrades globally, set time windows for when upgrades can occur,
and configure other system-wide constraints.

Required flags:
  --config-source         Source of the global firmware configuration updates
                          Values: 'pipe' (read from stdin) or path to JSON file

The configuration JSON can include any of these fields:
  - activated: (optional) Boolean to enable/disable firmware upgrades globally
  - upgradeStartTime: (optional) ISO 8601 timestamp for upgrade window start
  - upgradeEndTime: (optional) ISO 8601 timestamp for upgrade window end
  - other global firmware settings: (varies based on API specification)

Note: Only provide the fields you want to update. Missing fields will retain
their current values.

Examples:
  ## Update global config from JSON file
  metalcloud-cli firmware-policy global-config update --config-source global-config.json
  
  ## Enable firmware upgrades globally via stdin
  echo '{"activated":true}' | metalcloud-cli fw-policy global update --config-source pipe
  
  ## Set upgrade time window
  metalcloud-cli firmware-policy global-config update --config-source time-window.json
