I've have a Dell PowerEdge R610 server that I've been setting up. During the setup process I enter the Unified Server Configurator and ran the Platform Update. Since then I have been unable to access the USC. From the main boot screen the following line is displayed "System Services update required" and in the BIOS Boot Manager "System Services not available". I need to know what to do to update the System Services.
I would start by resetting the idrac to defaults. On bootup, hit Cntrl E and set the idrac to defaults. If this still doesnt work, power down the system, and pull power for one full minute. Then plugin power and let the system sit for 1 full minute before powering on. After you power on, you may system System Services not available for about 5-10 minutes. Any longer than that and try the info below

If someone is still looking for this information, here is what I did to resolve this issue:
Download the Lifecycle Controller Repair Package from
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=7Y5M4
Upload the this package using DRAC's firmware upload interface.
Reboot the server and predd F10 to goto the System Services.
Goto USC settings and configure the IP address information.
Goto platform update and select ftp as source.
keep ftp.dell.com as URL and click next .
Select the Lifecycle Controller for update in addition to whatever else you want to update.
Take a cup of coffee sit back and let the magic happen on its own.
Hope this helps.
