= How to perform firmware upgrades on iDRAC management controllers?
|
|
|
|
In order to perform firmware upgrades on iDRAC management controllers, one
|
|
needs to have access to the web interface of the nodes, present within the Red
|
|
Hat virtual private network.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
You need to have the following information handy to follow the process.
|
|
|
|
1. Credentials for the web interfaces of the iDRAC management controllers
|
|
2. Access to the `batcave01` node via SSH
|
|
3. Access to the Red Hat intranet via Red Hat VPN
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
== Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Connect with the
|
|
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/[*Fedora Infrastructure*] team to
|
|
request the credentials for the web interface of the iDRAC management
|
|
controllers.
|
|
|
|
2. Ensure that the device is connected to the Red Hat virtual private network
|
|
before proceeding with the discovering their IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
3. Connect to the `batcave01` node using SSH and ping the management FQDNs to
|
|
discover the IP address of the web interface.

4. For this instance, we would be performing firmware upgrade on the iDRAC
|
|
management controller of the FQDN `autosign02.rdu3.fedoraproject.org`.
|
|
|
|
5. Ping the management FQDN from the `batcave01` session to obtain the internal
|
|
IP address of the same `a.b.c.d` and open it up in web browser.
|
|
|
|
6. Log into the web interface of the management controller using the provided
|
|
credentials after skipping the HTTPS warning message.

|
|
|
|
7. Make a note of the *Service Tag* from the dashboard of the web interface
|
|
(which, in this case, is `DEADCAFE`).
|
|

|
|
|
|
8. Head over to the *Dell Support* website on a separate browser session or tab
|
|
and enter the Service Tag in the identifier field.
|

|
|
|
|
9. When the *Product Support* page finishes loading for the associated product
|
|
switch over to the *Drivers & Downloads* tab.
|
|
image:drac-04.png[image]
|
|
|
|
10. Search for keywords like `Firmware` and `iDRAC` in the search bar to find
|
|
the *iDRAC Firmware* update package file.
|
|
image:drac-05.png[image]
|
|
|
|
11. Scroll down to the entry of the *iDRAC Firmware* update package file and
|
|
confirm the update package file extension to be *EXE*.
|
|
image:drac-06.png[image]
|
|
|
|
12. Confirm the presence of the *current version* of the *iDRAC Firmware* in
|
|
the *Older Versions* list to ensure correct selection.
|
|
image:drac-07.png[image]
|
|
|
|
13. Navigate to the *Maintenance* > *System Update* > *Manual Update* section
|
|
of the web interface of the management controller.
|
|
image:drac-08.png[image]
|
|
|
|
14. Upload the *iDRAC Firmware* update package file to the web interface and
|
|
wait for it to finish uploading before continuing.
|
|
image:drac-09.png[image]
|
|
|
|
15. After uploading has finished, click on the *Install* button to begin with
|
|
installing the uploaded *iDRAC Firmware* package file.
|
|
image:drac-10.png[image]
|
|
|
|
16. Navigate to the *Job Queue* section of the web interface after clicking on
|
|
the *Job Queue* button from the modal window.
|
|
image:drac-11.png[image]
|
|
|
|
17. Observe the running processes in the *Job Queue* section from the
|
|
*Maintenance* section and wait for the installation to complete.
|
|
image:drac-12.png[image]
|
|
|
|
18. After the installation completes and the management controller is finished
|
|
rebooting, confirm the *current version* from the dashboard.
