Updating r815

Hi Paras,

The LCC is embedded, so you should be able to use it.

Since you have never updated the servers, can you please provide the firmware levels you are currently on so we can get an idea of what we have? 

Please send a private message with your service tag to ensure we have all appropriate information on your system.

Thank you,

Hi Paras,

Thank you for the service tag.

You will need to get the firmware individually unless you have OpenManage Server Administrator installed. You could get it from there.

Thanks,

Hi thanks for the reply. I have Linux installed. By any chance I can download the 64 bit versions of drac and lcc updates?. The bin file I have downloaded are for 32 bit.

Thanks

Paras.

Hi Paras,

The link will be:  

If you select 'View full driver details' you will see the Linux version listed.

Thanks,

I downloaded ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_LN32_2.90_A00.bin from there

and when I ran it says

The following packages are required:

compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libstdc++ libxml2.i686

I installed them but still the same dependency problem.

What did i miss ?

Thanks

Paras.

I got this working. 

I installed the i686 packages and it worked fine.

Thanks

Paras
