iDRAC 8/7 v2.30.30.30 User’s Guide
Recovering iDRAC
iDRAC supports two operating system images to make sure
a bootable iDRAC. In the event of an unforeseen catastrophic error and
you lose both boot paths:
- iDRAC bootloader detects that there is no bootable image.
- System Health and Identify LED is flashed at ~1/2 second rate. (LED is located on the back of a rack and tower servers and on the front of a blade server.)
- Bootloader is now polling the SD card slot.
- Format an SD card with FAT using a Windows operating system, or EXT3 using a Linux operating system.
- Copy firmimg.d7 to the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the server.
- Bootloader detects the SD card, turns the flashing LED to solid amber, reads the firmimg.d7, reprograms iDRAC, and then reboots iDRAC.
