Refer to OS vendor guidelines for instructions on how to create CIFS
(windows) or NFS (Linux or XenServer) shares
5. Open a terminal/command prompt with superuser/administrator accessibility.
This prompt should allow execution of the RACADM utility.
6. Mount the Hardware ISO to the iDRAC from the remote share, where the
following command is all on one line:
racadm -r
<dracIP>
-u root -p
<password>
remoteimage -c -u
<myuser>
-p
<mypass>
-l //
<myip>
/SIORN/VxFlex-Ready-Node-
Hardware-Update-for-Dell_14G_2018_May_A00.iso
Where:
l
<dracIP> is the iDRAC IP address
l
<password> is the password for the server
l
<myuser> is the NFS/CIFS share username
l
<mypass> is the NFS/CIFS share password
l
<myip> is the NFS/CIFS server IP
Note
The default password is Scaleio123.
7. Enable the iDRAC VirtualCD to boot once using these Remote RACADM
commands:
racadm -r
<dracIP>
-u root -p
<password>
set
iDRAC.ServerBoot.BootOnce Enabled
racadm -r
<dracIP>
-u root -p
<password>
set
iDRAC.ServerBoot.FirstBootDevice VCD-DVD
8. Verify that the server is in a state in which it can be power-cycled. (The OS
should be in maintenance mode, as needed).
9. Power-cycle the VxFlex Ready Node server:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p
<password>
serveraction
graceshutdown
10. Repeat steps
on page 69 -
on page 69 for each VxFlex Ready Node server
needing the BIOS and firmware updates and configuration. All servers can be
updated in parallel.
11. Wait for the configuration and firmware updates to complete. The server
console screen will indicate when the script is complete.
WARNING
Do not reboot the VxFlex Ready Node server while the update process is
being performed!
The iDRAC will be reset several times during the update process. This causes
the iDRAC virtual console viewer to close, virtual media to disconnect, and the
