[Linux-PowerEdge] iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 4.10.10.10 won't install

2020-05-29 Thread Ben Argyle


[EXTERNAL EMAIL] 

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:

Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] BIOS legacy boot with BOSS controller card

2020-05-29 Thread Jean-Daniel TISSOT

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] 

Hi,

We use Proxmox here (Debian based) in UEFI boot mode : works perfectly.

I'm quite sure you must configure your BIOS for UEFI, if you have iDRAC
with SD card, you can upload the Debian ISO on this card and boot on it
via the iDRAC console. Few stuff to configure before booting on this ISO.

Regards.
