Dell Remote Access Controller Firmware Update

Updating the firmware via racadm

from Luke Luo:

  • Get the firmware update (EXE)
  • unzip idrac-2.65.65.65_A00.exe payload/firmimg.d7
  • mv payload /srv/tftp/idrac7-2.65
  • chgrp -R nobody /srv/tftp/idrac7-2.65
  • chmod -R a+r /srv/tftp/idrac7-2.65
  • ssh HOST racadm fwupdate -g -u -a TFTP-SERVER -d /idrac7-2.65

The trick is that the file is always firmimg.d7.

You can update the firmware via the GUI.
