Problems with IPMI when updating DRAC
Hi
I am trying to upgrade de DRAC software on a Dell PowerEdge 2900 due to the problems the current version has to access the console with moder browsers (XML errors). Current version is "1.30 (07.10.08)" and the new version I am trying to install is "Dell Remote Access Controller - DRAC 5, v.1.51, A00" (from file RAC_FRMW_LX_R253040.BIN). But when I try to install the upgrade, after reading the notes, I get this error:
=====================================================
# lsb_release -d

Load lib IPMI is not available. Ensure that IPMI is enabled and the supported IPMI driver is installed on your system.

Finally I got it, although i did not resolve the IPMI issue. I updated the RAC firmware using the command racadm. First, I got the firmware from ftp.dell.com/.../f_drac5v160_A00.exe, then extract, and updated the firmware using the command from a linux shell "racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /root/".
Thanks anyway.

give this a try,
ls -al /dev/ipmi0
if this command comes back with "no such file or directory", the ipmi is missing or incomplete
run this to reinstall, ipmi0 should be back: ./disneyinstall.sh install
Let me know.....

Hi
/dev/ipmi0 exists:
# ls -al /dev/ipmi0
crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 May 2 17:56 /dev/ipmi0
And when running ./disneyinstall.sh install (after uncompressing RAC_FRMW_LX_R253040.BIN), it does not show anything (but return code is 1):
# ./disneyinstall.sh install
# echo $?
1
Thanks, but no luck...

The package compat-libstdc.i686 was removed completely from CentOS8 or RHEL8.
But, we could download it from CentOS 7 repo and install it.
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-72.el7.i686.rpm
yum localinstall compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-72.el7.i686.rpm
And then install the formware
./T310_ESM_Firmware_KM5PY_LN32_1.92_A00.BIN on CentOS 8 even though Dell has not yet published it.
