Hi nampnx,

What OS are you running? If you are using Windows or Red Hat you can use the update packages for those OSes and run them from command line. You can use the /s switch to run them silently without user intervention as part of a script.

Here are the current updates:

iDRAC remote access controller firmware 3.50, A00, released 3/29/13, URGENT, *May take 8-15 minutes to complete:

Hi  DELL-Josh Cr,

Thanks u so much but i knew this way. Becasue servres in my company are running for prouduction so i can't access through OS way. I want to find OUT-OF-BAND  way: iDrac or others. I don't have to access OS with out-of-band way.

Do you have other ideas?

Thanks so much !

There is not a way to update the BIOS or lifecycle controller out of band with a script on the M610. The updates also require a reboot, so if the servers are in production they cannot be updated without downtime.  The only out of band method is the lifecycle controller and that cannot be updated from within itself. So for updating that you would have to boot to a liveDVD image through the drac and update from there.  Here is the link to the latest liveDVD, you would then use the previously linked linux update packages. linux.dell.com/.../OMSA71-CentOS6-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso

The idrac is the only thing that you can update out of band. What you would need to do is install the drac tools on a system, this will allow you to run racadm on remote systems. downloads.dell.com/.../OM-DRAC-Dell-Web-WIN-7.2.0-6945.exe

Then extract the hard drive version of the firmware update so you can update with the .d6 file. downloads.dell.com/.../iDRAC6_3.50_A00.exe

Then run racadm -r -u -p fwupdate -p -u -d

This command could be put in a script with all of your idrac ip addresses so that you could update them all.

Thanks  DELL-Josh Cr  so much :). I will try to do with ur way

So then, when is Dell going to step up to the plate and do what almost every other manufacturer does?

Something that happened during the application of SUU 7.3.0 recently caused this server to no-post. I'm getting a 0x5 post code and think that upgrading the BIOS is the appropriate next step for this server. I checked the iDrac6 (which is functional at this point) and found that bios version is 1.0.4 and iDrac is 1.95. Is there no way to update the BIOS if the server won't post?

I've run into this issue before in the past.  If you power down the system, remove the power cord for 2 min and then plug the cables back in the system should post.  If not you're most likely looking at a hardware issue and will require a Dell Tech onsite to replace the hardware.

Hi,

I have DELL T420 servers. It has iDRAC7. How to upgrade firmware (1.5) from OME 1.2 server to remote system through RACADM method? I have some issue with wsman method.

Hi Folks,

Can someone let me know how to check LCC version for DELL R420 server through command line.

Thanks!
