metalcloud-cli firmware-binary create¶
Create a new firmware binary from configuration file
Synopsis¶
Create a new firmware binary from configuration file.
This command creates a new firmware binary registration in the system using a configuration file that defines all the binary’s properties, compatibility information, and metadata.
The firmware binary will be validated for:
Hardware compatibility specifications
Version information consistency
Required metadata completeness
Update severity classification
Use the ‘config-example’ command to generate a template configuration file with all available options and their descriptions.
Required Flags: –config-source Source of the firmware binary configuration (JSON/YAML file path or ‘pipe’)
The configuration file must include:
Basic metadata (name, catalogId)
Vendor download URL
Hardware compatibility information (vendorSupportedDevices, vendorSupportedSystems)
Update requirements (rebootRequired, updateSeverity)
Optional configuration includes:
Package identification (packageId, packageVersion)
External references (externalId, vendorInfoUrl, cacheDownloadUrl)
Release information (vendorReleaseTimestamp)
Vendor details
Examples: metalcloud-cli firmware-binary create –config-source ./bios-update.json cat firmware-config.json | metalcloud-cli fw-binary create –config-source pipe metalcloud-cli firmware-bin new –config-source ./dell-r640-bios.yaml
