The B<noderange> can be an CEC or CEC list, a Lpar or Lpar list and a Frame or Frame list. But CEC (or Lpar) and Frame B<can't> be used at the same time. When the I<noderange> is an CEC or CEC list, B<rflash> will upgrade the firmware of the CEC or CECs in the cec list. If I<noderange> is a Lpar or Lpar list, B<rflash> will update Licensed Internal Code (LIC) on HMC-attached POWER5 and POWER6 pSeries nodes, and POWER7 systems using Direct FSP management. If I<noderange> is a Frame or Frame list, B<rflash> will update Licensed Internal Code (LIC) of the power subsystem on HMC-attached POWER5 and POWER6 pSeries nodes. The I<noderange> can also be the specified node groups. You can specify a comma or space-separated list of node group ranges. See the I<noderange> man page for detailed usage information.
The command will update firmware for NeXtScale FPC when given an FPC node and the http information needed to access the firmware.

The command will update firmware for NeXtScale FPC when given an FPC node and the http information needed to access the firmware. The http imformation required includes both the MN IP address as well as the directory containing the firmware. It is recommended that the firmware be downloaded and placed in the /install directory structure as the xCAT MN /install directory is configured with the correct permissions for http.
