The racadm utility is actually installed via the racser-devel package.  You
can verify with:

#rpm -qpl racser-devel-x.x.x.rpm

However, in order to install this rpm, you'll need to also install:

dellomsa
dellomsa-drivers

These can both be found in sa471/linux directory.  

If you don't want the entire Server Administrator installed, then do a
"--nodeps".  Otherwise, you'll need to install
ServerAdministrator-x.x.x.rpm.


#rpm -ivh --nodeps dellomsa-* 

Now you can install the racser-devel package, and racadm should be installed
to /usr/sbin/racadm

Sample syntax if you had the firmware unpacked into a directory:

#racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /path/to/firmimg.bm1/

You can then check the status of the process with:

#racadm fwupdate -s

After it is flashed (less than 5 minutes), it should return

"FWUPD_STATUS_OK fwupdate completed successfully"

You can then verify with 

#racadm getsysinfo | grep Version
