Is there an easy (and safe) way to upgrade RedHat versions remotely? I know the difference between 7.2 and 7.3 is just a bunch of newer .rpm file versions. Or is there more? Do I have to boot the CD and choose upgrade? What if I'm 100 miles from the server and would like to avoid traveling there?... (1 Reply)

Hey!!!
Has anyone done HMC patch installation remotely? I would love to know if that would be possible. I have been doing through CD/DVD but hate to do the additional work of finding someone in the DC and sending him the CD's.
I have seen the option to supply remote site. can that be helpful?... (5 Replies)

NAME
eficheck -- check the integrity of the x86 flash chip firmware.
SYNOPSIS
eficheck --integrity-check [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file]
eficheck --show-hashes [-h EFI-hash-input-file] [-b EFI-binary-input-file]
eficheck --generate-hashes [-h EFI-hash-output-file] [-p output-path]
eficheck --save [-b EFI-binary-output-file]
eficheck --cleanup [-b EFI-binary-input-and-output-file>]
eficheck --version
eficheck --help
DESCRIPTION
eficheck is a tool to check the x86 flash chip firmware.
The following commands can be used with eficheck:
--integrity-check hashes portion of the firmware and compares against known-good hashes
--generate-hashes outputs hashes for a given firmware to be used as known-good hashes
--show-hashes shows the hashes for the sub-sections of the firmware which are measured
--save saves the full flash chip contents to a binary file. Requires root privileges.
--cleanup zeros any privacy-sensitive data (such as nvram), enabling the file to be shared for analysis.
--version print out eficheck version number.
--help display a short help.
EXAMPLES
'eficheck --save -b firmware.bin'
Save this system's EFI firmware as firmware.bin
'eficheck --cleanup -b firmware.bin'
Overwrite the EFI variables portion of the firmware.bin, in place
'eficheck --generate-hashes'
Analyze the current system's installed EFI firmware, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder
File name(s) will be selected according to image's EFI version(s)
'eficheck --generate-hashes -b firmware.bin'
Analyze the firmware.bin, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in current folder. Filename will be based on the detected
firmware version.
'eficheck --generate-hashes -p /usr/local/allowlists'
Analyze the current system's installed EFI firmware, and store the hashes into hash file(s) in /usr/local/allowlists folder
'eficheck --integrity-check'
Attempt to automatically determine which firmware you are running, and integrity check against the appropriate file, and report
any differences
'eficheck --integrity-check -h /usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/EFIAllowListShipping.bun-
dle/allowlists/IM171.88Z.0105.B08.1604111319.0.ealf'
Compare the current system's EFI firmware against the Apple-provided expected measurements for an "iMac17,1" at firmware revision
B08, and report any differences
'eficheck --integrity-check -h hash.ealf -b firmware.bin'
Compare the given hash file against against the given firmware image and report any differences
'eficheck --show-hashes'
Print the hashes for the current system's installed EFI firmware to stdout
'eficheck --show-hashes -b firmware.bin'
Print the hashes for the given firmware.bin to stdout
'eficheck --show-hashes -h IM171.88Z.0105.B08.1604111319.0.ealf'
Print the hashes for the given allowlist to stdout
