3.3.12.1 Update BMC Firmware
Using a POST request, it is possible to upload an image file for updating the BMC FW. The new FW
image file must be sent within the POST request. Using Postman, for example, the file is selected by
means of the “binary” option inside the “Body” tab.

"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/TaskService/Tasks/0",
"@odata.type": "#Task.v1_4_3.Task",
"Id": "0",
"TaskState": "Running",
"TaskStatus": "OK"
}
Once the operation is successful, it returns the response “200 OK” and the FW is uploaded and ready
for the update.
Important:
the POST request uploads the FW image and prepares it for the update. However, the FW
will only be updated after a manual reboot of the BMC, which can be performed by following the
procedure described in section “3.3.14.1 Reboot BMC”.
