OS Driver Pack 25.08.04 firmware fails

When I go through the Lifecycle to update I get this error. Seems to be an issue with this latest OS Driver Pack.

Hello,

 

 

I haven't heard of any others with this issue, yet.

 

I know you are well skilled at this. Can you verify you using these steps?

 

To apply the OS Driver Pack;

 

Installation directions:

You can update the Driver Pack using Lifecycle Controller.

1. Copy the file: Drivers-for-OS-Deployment_Application_RMG6P_WN64_25.08.04_A00.EXE to a USB device

2. Plug in the USB device and enter in to the LCC Platform Update

3. Select the USB device and navigate through the directory contents to find the executable and use the Windows .exe file.

Initially I tried updating through iDRAC, after that kept failing. I loaded the .EXE file on a USB and went through the lifecycle>firmware update and selected the .exe and got the error message from my original post.

Something else I noticed with this OS pack that is having issues is there are no previous versions like other OS Driver Packs on Dell's Website. The current OS Driver pack on my updated R650 is 25.02.05 but that version is no where to be found on Dell's site. The only one I see is 25.08.04 which keeps failing. Is 25.02.05 driver pack no longer supported?

Hi,

 

I was able to simulate your issue on one of the test unit here in the lab, the update file might be missing DUP package signature for the model server. I manage to try a workaround with DRM, Dell Repository Manager by manual creating the SUU ISO, selecting R650 model and OS drive pack from Applications and the update via LCC was successful. 

 

 

Furthermore, I cannot find version 25.02.05, engineering could have removed it. Here's 25.04.03 though: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-my/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=ry43k

Hello,

I will reach out to one of the engineers and follow up with you.

Can you confirm you use the lasted OS driver pack for the server model?

Our Dell OME shows this issue too with several of our hosts running ESXi8 ie. the drivers pack mentioned is for Windows only so unsure why it shows up against our vmware hosts?

To add, we cannot update it for any of these hosts as we get the same error as others ie. it is incompatible.

I usually put this down to an "error" somewhere in the latest catalogs and someone, somewhere gets them updated eventually.

Hello,

 

This is likely a catalog issue. The ESXi_catalog is update once a quarter so it may be corrected around December. I don't have a confirmed date.
