증상

When the iDRAC or Lifecycle Controller (LC) is used to update server firmware (FW) , a copy of the current FW is retained for rollback purposes.  The new firmware package is then staged on the iDRAC partition and extracted to perform the update. Since the iDRAC/Lifecycle Controller has limited storage space, it may not have enough available capacity for both the previous and new firmware images. The Lifecycle Log may record any of the following warning events: RED032, RED008, RED096.
 
 
Firmware Update Lifecycle Log Examples:
 
2023-10-03 07:45:19         RED032         Reached maximum size limit allowed for storing firmware images. Deleted all rollback firmware images.        
 
Log Sequence Number:
46547
Detailed Description:
The rollback firmware images previously stored were deleted to provide space for storing the firmware images for the requested operation. All the rollback firmware images are deleted.
Recommended Action:
No response action is required.
 
 
2023-10-03 08:13:11         RED008         Unable to extract payloads from Update Package.        
 
Log Sequence Number:
46553
Detailed Description:
The firmware payloads in the Update Package cannot be extracted. This may be because the file is not valid or the security signature cannot be verified.
Recommended Action:
Re-acquire the Update Package from the service provider.
 
2023-10-03 08:12:59         RED096         iDRAC flash storage has reached its upper limits. Rollback will no longer be supported for this component.        
 
Log Sequence Number:
46551
Detailed Description:
The maximum iDRAC storage space allocated for storing firmware image files is reached. The firmware image of the earlier version that was stored for a rollback operation is now deleted.
Recommended Action:
No response action is required.
 
Note: When a RED032 is recorded, Rollback action will no longer be possible. The rollback version will be listed as 'NULL' in the Rollback page of the Lifecycle Controller GUIs. The iDRAC GUI will not list the impacted component within the iDRAC Rollback page.

원인

The iDRAC retains two firmware version images for devices that support rollback feature (BIOS, Network Controllers, iDRAC, PERC, Backplanes, DPU). As firmware image files continue to grow in size, the static partition on the iDRAC controller can run out of capacity to stage multiple image files. When the partition is low on space, this will lead to firmware update/rollback operations to fail.

해결

While improvements in later iDRAC9 firmware versions (7.00.30.00) include improvements in managing this iDRAC partition, this behavior is a limitation in the partition size. In order to free up capacity on the partition, manually deleting rollback images may be required. To free up space on the Lifecycle Controller partition, running a system erase of the lcdata will delete all rollback images.

 System Erase RACADM Example:
 
racadm>>racadm systemerase lcdata
RAC1061: SystemErase operation initiated successfully.
       Check the job status by running the RACADM command "racadm jobqueue view -i JID_963398489564"
 
 
SystemErase Redfish API Example:
 
POST …/redfish/v1/Managers/{ManagerId}/Oem/Dell/DellLCService/Actions/DellLCService.SystemErase
 
Payload = lcdata

Note: Running a system erase operation of the lcdata will delete the Lifecycle Log from the iDRAC in addition to ALL stored firmware images. Rollback images will only be populated on partition as additional firmware updates are performed.
