IDSDM module.firmware update on ESXI

Hello all, 

Thanks to help

I need to apply the update below

 

https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=FF4WY&osCode=W12R2&productCode=poweredge-r730

 

Please help on how to apply the update on ESXI server

The installation instructions says *Firmware can only be updated through OS via DUP. Update will be unsuccessful if done through iDRAC or LC.*

I'll just comment that this reply to use SLI with a link to the BIN image doesn't really help, since SLI doesn't have SUU in it, or a helpful link within SLI to install it from the network.  (Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the SLI UI doesn't really point you in the right direction, and I was done with trying to piece together the various PDF manuals.)

What SLI 3.0 _does_ have is a script in ~root to install "DSU," which can fetch all applicable firmware for you, and it works fairly well.

This is how I finally got the IDSDM firmware installed, along with the Intel NIC and QLogic HBA firmware that is hit-or-miss from within iDRAC.

Now if SLI had a better UI for network configuration than Redhat's "made for a laptop" NetworkManager, that'd be fantastic.  I'm guessing most people with ESXi servers and iDSDM also have separate management VLANs, and NetworkManager has no way to configure this.

You can also update IDSDM from iDRAC (Maintenance > System Update > From Local (use 32bit update exe).

This was for a 14G server with current iDRAC (3.34.34.34) to get to SD FW version 1.9 (was on 1.7)

Can you please verify what OS you did this for?   The 32 bit .exe for Vmware ESXi?
