Dump collection
If you want to collect the dump during system boot, use the following command. The following command
example generates a dump of the CPU module 0. The system must be running in duplex mode for you to use
this method.
#
/opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint dump 0
Generated dump of the device at path 0.
In the result, the dump for the ESXi host is saved in /var/core/vmkernel-zdump-MMDDYY.HH:mm.n on the
ESXi host.

Updating BMC firmware
Use the following command to update the BMC firmware.
# /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint burnBmcs fw_file
Important Shutdown the guest OS except for ftSys Management Appliance.
1. Login to ftSys Management Appliance as a root user.
