PowerEdge R730/R630 iDRAC firmware update problem

Question

Hi there,

I've noticed there was since May a new iDRAC update. Available version is 2.80.80.80

What I've noticed on my 3 home-lab servers (2xR730 and 1xR630) is:

None of them found the new update since weeks (and I've auto download/install) configured
If I install 2.80.80.80, it will automatically find the previous 2.75.100.75 as "new"

As I've this issue on my 3 servers, there is a pretty good chance it is a general issue. Can somebody escalate this to the "repository team"?

(I had the same kind of issues here before)

Thanks in advance!

Franckehret,

The issue you are seeing is due to 2.80.80.80 having been removed from the catalog, it was removed due to the issue seen here.

The issue will be addressed and resolved when 2.81.81.81 is released, which should be in the next few weeks.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for the quick and pertinent answer, I'll let the DRAC manage that itself then!

But FYI, I managed to download it from the Dell downloads website if you want to remove it from there too
