not sure what you mean. i have the asm running on a 2003 box and i'm logged in as Administrator. but the asm is client/server connection so the client connection to the asm server has to be done as root in order to get the ability to upgrade firmware.

i really should be able to perform the software update from the cli. but i suspect it may be a permission issue.

oh well - looks like i have to physically do this at the datacenter.. *sigh*
