iDRAC7 1.50.50 Where did it go?

I know when I applied it to one of the new servers, it seemed to apply successfully but you could never log in to the iDRAC after applying it. I ended up rolling back to the previous version and trying again. Same result. The login graphic would only spin around once and then lock up. I just rolled it back again and left it for the next release.

Dell is working on an update to this release which should be web posted as soon as full testing and validation is complete.  This new update 1.51.50 will also resolve any downgrade issues as well. 

Apologies for interrupting your update window, but the upcoming fixes in the code are necessary. 

thanks --- Doug

As i said, it doesnt, i tried 1.51 last night.

If you change the ports it screws it up. this is even noted in the release note for this version - under known issues.

@OrbitIT -- the new version 1.51.51 is posted and should resolve your issue.  Please install the new version and if the issue persists, please open a trouble ticket with the support team so we can get you moving ahead.

i had the same problem with 1.51 and it breaks if you change the ports from 80 or 443

Hi Doug,

I will take delivery of an M1000e tomorrow loaded with m420 servers.  Would you recommend using 1.51.51 on my new servers?  Or start with 1.40.40 or something else?

All,

I just updated www.delltechcenter.com/idrac (shortcut to Cameron link) with the 1.51.51 link. Also posted below.

Thanks Steve :)

Does 1.51.51 support the changes that will be made to Oracle Java 7 update 51 that will be released next week on 2014-01-14?  There is a posting at http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/11/05/i-am-receiving-a-java-warning-message-when-launching-virtual-console-or-virtual-media-with-drac.aspx that details this problem, and I'm seeing the same issue with HP iLO remote access as mentioned here: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/HP-BladeSystem-Management/iLO-Java-Remote-Con .  I've opened a case with Dell basic support (service request number is 888015876 and Chat Session ID is 61343087), and the only assistance they could provide at that level was links to the latest DRAC firmware.
