PE 2950 - System COULD NOT MOUNT /dev/cdrom* when trying to update the drivers using DELL ISO
I have two identical PE 2950.
On the first PE 2950, I was having trouble installing the DELL ISO that I downloaded from the the Repository Manager because the CD won't mount. But after I kept rebooting the server from DRAC and enabled/disabled the Virtual CDrom, somehow I got lucky and it finally was able to mount and run the updates.
On the second PE 2950, it's a different story. I was trying to do the same thing but it kept saying not able to mount the cdrom. I have tried both the local and virtual cdrom and doing the same thing that I did with the first server but no luck.
The error is the following:
booting from cdrom with share_script as drm_files/apply_bundles.sh
mount /dev/cdrom* /opt/dell/toolkit/systems
COULD NOT MOUNT /dev/cdrom*
/opt/dell/toolkit/systems/drm_files/apply_bundles.sh is invalid ....
Press Enter to reboot.
Any experts here that could help me?
I have also R720s with DRAC 6.0 and never had any problems when updating through the ISO. Maybe just this DRAC 5.0 that just totally EPIC FAIL?
Please help.

Hi,
What version of java are you using? What browser are you using? Is the drac firmware up to date? You are getting that error when the ISO is booting right and not in the OS? What OS is the system running?

Thanks, if the error is occurring from the local drive it shouldn’t be a DRAC issue, as it is reading it the same as if you are on the machine locally. It sounds like the image is not creating properly. Have you tried recreating it?

Try booting to our live DVD and see if that will load properly and let you update from within that OS. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

Check in the isolinux folder, but the automatic script was for booting and the normal SUU version has the auto update for inside an OS.

The live DVD loads properly and I'm in it now.
So how do I "update from within that OS"? :)

If you put in the disk you created in the repository manager the updates should be on there. You can also use the repository manager to create an SUU iso and use that to load the updates. The other option is to download the individual updates that you want to do from the support site and run the .bin files.

I created a disk and looked the contents it doesnt look like there is an autoscript, you need to create the suu version instead of the linux autoboot version and there is an autorun.sh to run in that version.

In the respository manager when you create the disk for updates the bottom option is create SUU ISO

No problem, I should have been clearer. Yes, run the SUU from the liveOS, it is not bootable on its own. The liveOS loads into memory, so it doesn't need the disk in once it finishes loading.
