Hi My 2 years old R720xd is useless after IDRAC+LC update trial.
I tried to update IDRAC+LC (common package downloaded from Dell's web page - version 2.30.30.30) via web. Download was succesful but install not. Job queue said there was unspecified error during install. I tried to update it at least 2x with the same effect (no powerdown or other interrupt during update). So I decided to reset IDRAC via Web interface hoping it would help. But after reset the server simply died. When I came to a server room it looked like powered OFF (no poweron or disk leds lighted). No reaction on attached physical VGA console. However PSUs had power. Power On/OF button was dead also (pushing it steady for 30 s did nothing). I removed electric power from PSUs. Waited 1min or so. And powered it ON again, The machine started. PowerON LED and LEDs on disks started to light and blink (green light). But VGA console shows nothing (no input) - no BIOS or memory testing or .... Just dark screen. However now PowerON/OFF button works. I can't also ping IDRAC's IP nor system's IP. Just useless brick of metal. What can I do other than a call for support on Monday ??? Grzegorz
