IDRAC6 Update device is not compatible
Hello!
Updating all the software on my R710 rev 2 today. Bios is currently 6.6.0 and LifeCycle Controller is 1.7.5. iDRAC is 1.80 right now, I want to update to 2.92, the latest. However I'm getting "The update package is not compatible with your system" when running the BIN downloaded from here . I tried updating to 1.85 first, but this got me Typeset: not found. Running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You can try updating iDRAC firmware using iDRAC GUI. Steps are mentioned in below post

As you have very old iDRAC FW I suggest not to directly update 2.92. Instead you can try staged update with some intermediate versions and reach 2.92.

Yep that has solved it! I tried updating earlier via the iDRAC GUI, but uploaded the BIN for RedHat, now I know I should've gotten the other download.
I updated to 1.85, then to 1.95 and then 2.92, worked out very well
Thank you!
Kind regards,
