Need informations about dell_ft_update (firmware updates)
Hi,
I have several servers running CentOS (differents versions). I have installed OpenManage on all of them, and also the package named "dell_ft_install"
I want to know what this package do, more exactly what each commands do :
yum install $(/usr/sbin/bootstrap_firmware) <== this command download packages, but what about install?
update_firmware <== what about this command, does it need to be used after the previous command?
I will appreciate your feedbacks about this.

Running the below commands in order will install the necessary tools, download the updated driver / firmware packages and then install any updated packages.
yum install dell_ft_install
yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)
firmwaretool --update --yes
If you run the 'firmwaretool --update' without the '--yes' it will print out the list of updates with out installing them.
