Firmware updating doesn't work via latest Lifecycle Controller (2.81.81.81)
Hi,
we try to update several PowerEdge R730xd via Lifecycle Controller. First we updated iDRAC/Lifecycle Controller to the latest version (2.81.81.81). Then we followed this article 000177916 and after the catalog was downloaded it said that "Lifecycle Controller currently doesn't import SSL certificates -- click OK to continue" (translated), we clicked OK and now it hangs on this screen (progress bar not moving) for ever.
Ah, sorry. I forgot to mention that we used the Platform Specific Bootable ISO to update the system without any issues before we updated the iDRAC/Lifecycle Controller to the latest version and tried the update via Lifecycle Controller (HTTPS). Therefore the BIOS version now is 2.12.1 (via bootable ISO). Unfortunately I can't say what BIOS version it was before.
So now we try to update via Lifecycle Controller 2.81.81.81/BIOS 2.12.1 via HTTPS (downloads.dell.com) and have the described problem.
But we have another R730xd with Lifecycle Controller 2.75.100.75/BIOS 2.12.1 that has the same problem. Here is a screen capture: https://youtu.be/zabdzgD1tac

Can you try updating server using iDRAC? For this you can login to iDRAC GUI and traverse to "iDRAC Settings -> Update and Rollback" page and select HTTPS option

Kschlimme,
Would you confirm what version the BIOS is, as well as if it was updated prior to the iDrac update?
Also, what version was the iDrac / LCC at before the update?
Lastly, if the update is run from the Platform Specific Bootable ISO, does it progress normally?
