Update BOS via racadm with install next reboot
Hi
I am looking for an option how I can upgrade BIOS firmware via racadm with install next reboot option.
From iDRAC GUI we can choose option "Install next reboot".
How can I use the option to specify the installa time as next reboot via racadm.
Server Model : Power Edge R740
iDRAC Version : 4.40.00.00 (iDRAC9)
No Events found!

You can run racadm update command without --reboot option. This will automatically schedule the BIOS update job for next reboot.
E.g. You can run below command to upload BIOS from local folder and schedule for next reboot.
racadm update -f BIOS.EXE

Yes. That is correct you can use serveraction command to reboot the server which will initiate the update job. You can run the command "racadm help serveraction" to see various option available for reboot of the server
