Introduction

It'due south so sad that in the rat race for boosted functionality Dell engineers forgot the primary purpose of the DRAC -- to be reliable KVM. The main criteria of its usefulness -- reliability was compromised. And if DRAC hangs the situation is much worse that its complete absence (in this case you lot just buy a standalone KVM).

This is a serious SNAFU for Dell which essentially makes the server a lemon if remote management is important. In other words Dell got into "HP trap". Come across iLO 3 -- HP technology fiasco

In case you don't accept personnel on a remote site this is a disaster. In the rat race for boosted functionality they forgot the primary purpose of the DRAC -- to be reliable KVM -- and the main criteria of its usefulness -- reliability.

The current version of DRAC 7 is 1.57.57 (May, 2014)

iDRAC7  i.57.57 Release

(Download)
UPDATE - iDRAC7 firmware version one.57.57 is now an URGENT update for all rack and tower-model server customers with redundant power supply units (PSUs)

This build includes:

  • Set for SNMP v2 and SNMP v3 walk of the iDRAC7 MIB fourth dimension out
  • Support for Delta HVDC PSU hot plug
  • Ready for SNMP v3 merely working with the default countersign for USER2

annotation: this release also contains cumulative enhancements and updates from prior releases, including a fix for issues causing sluggish iDRAC7 response after a prolonged period of uptime (approx 45-100 days, depending on the usage). In some cases, if the iDRAC is not reset, information technology could become unresponsive and crave a server power-off/on reset. This issue exists on firmware releases 1.l.50 through those prior to i.56.55).

Please note that  previous version up to ane.51.51 are unstable and the only enhancement listed are "Adjustments for Intel IvyBridge processor specification updates" i.46.45 (Build 04) was the initial version on which I outset experienced hanging issues. So you need to avoid all version in the interval specified above. If you have one of the them urgent reflash is recommended.

Never use version lower and then 1.56.55, A00  on any production box. For example version ane.51.51 on R620 hangs all the time and makle DRAC useless. Avoid it at any cost.

You need to have reliable TCP/IP connexion when doing update of DRAC firmware from the GUI. IF download hangs sometimes you can't proceed. If you can yet log in to GUI interface resetting DRAC  might assistance...

Versions

  • ane.57.57 -- current (May, 2014)
  • one.56.51 Feb, 2022 -- unstable, simply with greatly improved VFlash.  Less unstable then 1.51.51 and previous version.
  • 1.51.51, A00 12/26/2013 5:47:09 PM Unstable. Fixes the problem of two cursors in DRAC console.
  • i.46.45, A00 10/ii/2013 iii:19:38 PM Unstable. May be slightly more than stable then 1.51.51. but information technology is incommunicable to work with anyhow.
  • ane.45.45, A00 9/27/2013 3:23:28 PM This is the last version before "security enhancements".  Fixes: Instability of IDRAC7 when dhcp6 client is enabled. For more details on the complete list of fixes, Please refer to IDRAC7 release notes PDF/TEXT file. Enhancements: IVY Bridge CPU back up for PowerEdge Servers- R720, R620, R720xd, T620 and M620
  • 1.40.40,A00 6/7/2013 It addresses " possible issue with iDRAC beingness unresponsive"
  • 1.37.35, A00 3/15/2013 4:56:12 PM

Trouble of ii cursors on panel

While one.51.51 does not look stable to me (meet Can't connect to iDRAC7 ), but it does solve one nasty problem of quondam version one.46.45 (Build 04) -- they version that was installed by Dell on the server. The problem of two cursors. Every bit I am not sure that it is less stable then previous versions (both are very bad). That means that it probably makes sense to upgrade ;-).

Methods of updating your DRAC firmware

There are several methods to update your DRAC firmware.

  • Update using Web-based Interface � See "Updating the DRAC Firmware Using the Spider web-Based Interface". This is the most common approach.

    You lot need to get the update package, extract the file with the extension D7 and so perform an update (bold your iDRAC is continued to the network and addressable).

    To practice that you blazon in the IP accost of your DRAC menu in whatsoever web browser, log in with the username / password (if you lot haven�t inverse anything u:root p:calvin) then go to 

    iDRAC Settings > Update and Rooback

    Point the GUI towards the firmware prototype, and you should exist proficient to get.

    Update takes upwardly to 5 min. Responses from DRAC might be absent-minded. Please be patient.  DRAC reboots after upgrade.

    To test if upgrade is done effort to login from a bew browser windows without endmost an old one. If it is washed yous will exist able to login and will encounter the new version listed on the initial DRAC  screen.

    Sometimes DRAC automatically log you out from the windows on which you performed update  (every bit it should be) merely this is not a sure matter in versions upwards to and including 1.57.57

[May 31, 2014] How practise I update Dell iDRAC firmware?

(updated 8/29/2013)
This postal service was written by Peter Tsai and Raja Tamilarasan


How do I update Dell iDRAC firmware? is a question we are asked often.

Updating DRAC firmware is a relatively common job that doesn't take to be overly complicated. There are a diverseness of methods available and you should be able to discover 1 firmware update method that is right for you.

The kickoff pace to updating the firmware on your iDRAC is to download the update bundle / image.

To find the latest version of the iDRAC firmware, check the Dell TechCenter iDRAC page or get to back up.dell.com and search for iDRAC6 or iDRAC7.

In that location are two versions of iDRAC firmware - one for Bract servers (modular) and one for standard rack servers (monolithic). Download only the ane y'all need, or both if you lot have each type of server.

One time you take the driver there are several ways to install iDRAC firmware updates:

  1. iDRAC updates via an Operating System executable
  2. iDRAC updates via iDRAC web GUI
  3. iDRAC updates via command line using RACADM
  4. iDRAC updates via Web Services for Direction (WSMAN)
one. For those with Windows installed, the most simple and easiest option for yous is to download the "Update Bundle for MS Windows" and per the instructions on the download folio, run the executable on the server that contains the iDRAC to exist updated. In that location are also Linux install options mentioned on the download page equally well.

ii. The other choice is to go the .IMG file update package, excerpt the file so perform an update either through the DRAC web GUI (assuming your iDRAC is connected to the network and addressable). To practice that you blazon in the IP accost of your DRAC bill of fare in whatsoever spider web browser, log in with the username / password (if y'all haven't inverse anything u:root p:calvin) then click on the iDRAC Settings > Update tab. Betoken the GUI towards the firmware image, and you should exist good to go.

3. Using a tool chosen RACADM (Remote Access Controller Administrator) you can update the firmware via a command line. The comand to update firmware is racadm fwupdate -p -u -d <path>

iv. Click me to jump to information about firmware update using WSMAN.

One other option is to use Dell Repository Director or the United Server Configurator, which is a component of Lifecycle Controller.

If you take Net connectivity in your datacenter, you can only kick USC by pressing F10 during mail and choose platform updates. If you don't have access to the internet, it you tin can still do updates by creating an SUU USB key and booting to USC. To come across how this is done, watch the video entitled "USB Updates Using Repository Managing director with Lifecycle Controller" on www.delltechcenter.com/RepositoryManager.

[Feb 03, 2014]Updating firmware on Dell PowerEdge R710 by Yury Zaytsev

This web log mail is about DRAC half dozen process...
Jun 04, 2011 | yury.zaytsev.net

... In that location are generally several avenues that i might take to update the server firmware:

  • iDRAC firmware update facility (limited to the firmware of the DRAC itself and the USC, Dell Universal Server Configurator / Lifecycle Controller dell-i), which requires manually downloaded firmware update (or repair) packages
  • Dell USC / LC, which is an UEFI based software that is able to update almost all firmwares of the devices that are present in the server using a number of possible sources of updates:
    • Dell FTP site dell-2, in which case at to the lowest degree one of the network interface cards present in the system has to be configured from within USC, so that the server would be able to access external resource directly or via a proxy server
    • Special USB media prepared beforehand using a software called Dell Repository Managing director dell-3, which needs to exist deployed to a Windows management PC
    • Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility dell-4, which is a DVD image containing a comprehensive drove of firmware updates; in some sense, the USB media produced by the Repository Manager are subsets of SUU specific to each particular server
  • Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation all-in-one DVD dell-5, which contains the whole suite of OpenManage-branded Dell systems direction software (OMSA, SBUU, SSDT and ITA)
  • Dell Update Packages (DUPs), which are accessible from the download pages for each specific Dell server dell-half dozen; the correct download folio can be found past inbound the service tag (unique server family identifier, which can be plant in the DRAC interface or USC amid other sources)

A rather complete (just peradventure not exhaustive) listing of components that might require updates is every bit follows:

  • iDRAC card
  • Dell BIOS
  • Dell USC / LC
  • Dell OS Drivers pack (part of LC)
  • Dell 32-bit Diagnostics software (part of LC)
  • Dell-branded RAID controllers, i.e. PERC H200I
  • Network interface cards
  • SSD devices

What follows are comments regarding each one of those and applicable update methods.

iDRAC firmware update

Updating the DRAC firmware should be the first stride to updating anything else, especially in the case of a restricted onsite presence / remote hands availability. During the update, the DRAC might go unavailable for a period of time up to 15 minutes; this is normal and expected.

It is preferable to turn off the server and perform the update from the DRAC direction console (iDRAC Settings | Update | Upload). The update package has to be downloaded manually from the server support and drivers domicile page at Dell.

Additionally, iDRAC is able to re-flash USC / LC using USC repair packages lc-1 in the case if it was hosed during the update. It is generally non recommended past Dell and considered to be a last-resort activeness, but I have plant it to exist the only reliable fashion of updating the USC.

Update iDRAC Firmware, LifceCycle Controller, Bios via Control Line

on 17 May 2013 3:29 AM

Hi all,

My company currently have over 200 dell m610 servers. Now I need to update my DELL M610 servers to latest versions (iDRAC, LifeCycle, Bios) via command line. With dell m620 i used WSMAN control to update many server by creating script only m610 i couldn't considering out of date versions: iDRAC, LC, Bios. If using RACADM I simply update iDRAC firmeware not LC, Bios. Is in that location whatever fashion to update date all of them by command line?

Thanks so much.

DELL-Josh Cr

Hi nampnx,

What OS are you running? If y'all are using Windows or Cherry Hat you tin can utilize the update packages for those OSes and run them from command line. You tin utilise the /s switch to run them silently without user intervention every bit office of a script.
