I can't believe this is still a problem even months later! I can't update my R430 servers through the Lifecycle Controller or any other PowerEdge servers for that matter. Having the same problems as everyone else.
"Try this and try that" doesn't cut it anymore. WHAT IS THE ANSWER DELL? What are you doing about this big problem??? It's gone beyond ridiculous.
July 1st 2020... still having the same issues as everyone else with "downloads.dell.com" and the various ftp urls, in addition to using the resolved IPs instead of the domain name. I've encountered the issue on R320, R420, R430, R640, R730xd, R740xd... they're all having issues in one manner or another when trying to run updates via the LCC and/or iDrac console.
The only success I've had is with using the 'dsu' command line tool with RHEL7(http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/), which is fine on some systems but not so much with the ones we have running Ubuntu due to the tool not being available for the version we're running.
Other than resorting to the dsu tool, the process I've had to use involved downloading every applicable EFI file, putting those onto a thumbdrive, rebooting into the one-shot EFI bootloader, loading the file, and applying them sequentially until the system has been updated to the required version... which DOES NOT SCALE when you're working on tens or hundreds of systems.
Dell, please get the repositories working. This is ridiculous.

Looks like I had to walk it up to the very next update from 1.57.57 to 1.66.65 and so on and so forth
