dpbuddy firmware -fromUrl "<url for you DataPower model>" -device "device1, device2 ..."

Consult Fix Central to find the exact download link for your firmware options and for your flavor of IBM DataPower.

You may also want to run a command to validate the state of your services and objects after the upgrade:

 
dpbuddy assertState -domains ".*"

We recommend following this checklist when upgrading the firmware:

• Make sure that you installing the firmware version for you DataPower model that includes the options that you have (Oracle, Tibco, etc.). You can tell from the filename — “lx” is for Linux, etc.
• Make sure you have enough disk space on the device and on the host (Linux, VMWare).
• Take the secure backup of the device (“dpbuddy secureBackup”)
• Take the regular backup of all your domains (‘dpbuddy -domains “.*” -file dp_backups’)
• Upgrade a development device first and test the functionality of your services before moving to DataPower in other environments.
