Dell Customer Communication - Confidential
Good afternoon,
A quick note on this is that feedback was forwarded to our engineering team.
It looks like at least for this DRAC generation, tentatively they are looking
to add back support for RHEL 6 on FW 4.20.20
For now, the currrent work arounds are what you mentioned in your email.
There was also feedback provided for the display filter for the update package.
If additional information is needed, please reach out to our Dell Support
department.
Thanks!
Regards,
Miguel Chavez

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Hi list,
Can someone from Dell please explain how we can deploy security updates to
machines where the OS is no longer supported, such as RHEL/CentOS 6? The
upgrade below was downloaded from Dell's support web site, "Operating system"
selected is "Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux 6". And quite obviously, this doesn't
work on RHEL 6 because glibc is version 2.12.
[root@host tmp]#
./iDRAC-with-Lifecycle-Controller_Firmware_KTC95_LN_4.10.10.10_A00.BIN -q
Collecting inventory...
./bmcfwul: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by
./bmcfwul) .
Inventory collection failed.
[root@host tmp]#
I am aware I can extract the payload and upload to the iDRAC directly, but this
is not practical when hundreds of servers need upgrading. Equally, the install
from update CD method is also unworkable as it requires reboots, often in
remote locations.
Is there a solution?
