I've got some R640s with firmware 4.00.00.00 for the iDRAC with Lifecycle 
Controller.  The 'dsu' output tells me 4.10.10.10 is available.  It's 
downloaded and install is attempted.  At which point this happens:

Alternatively, this is what you see if you do it on console:

However, the firmware isn't updated.  Even after a reboot and second attempt, 
no joy.  I don't have a /dev/sdb device in the systems.
