I'm surprised I can't find an answer to this by 'googling' - various downloads from Dell include this file format type (which is a zipped).

Does anyone know what these are?

Here is an example:

Hello, 

I have an R630 that seemingly out of the blue, stopped allowing me to login via IPMI over LAN. SSH and GUI access with the default credential still worked.

I tried upgrading the firmware to 2.21.21.21 from 2.20.20.20 and issuing a hard reset but the issue still persisted until I "reset" the password back to calvin. 

Any idea what could be the cause?

When connecting to the io module consoles, they are unresponsive.  Also the ability to reset them or the entire chassis fail.  Some things work like showing the services tags, or listing io modules etc., but right now I can’t proceed with configuring the uplinks until it starts behaving.

Does anyone have a good method to monitor the availability of a remote drac?

It seems that whenever I need to access the server's drac via a web browser I discover it is not responding. Just hoping that someone has a method to monitor possibly using Server Administrator with an email alert.

This has happened on various firmware, drac version's and using various browsers.

Thank You

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I have a Dell Poweredge 2950 server for almost 10 years. Recently, one of the HDD, slot 5 failed (showing amber light). I made a purchase for the HDD replacement

Picture below shows amber light on drive 5

Old HDD                                                                             

New HDD (Replacement HDD)

However, when i inserted new HDD into the server, the amber light still appears. I went into configuration utility to check if the SAS for the faulty drive (drive 5) was online but it did not detect the new HDD at all.

It only shows Drive 0,1,2,3,4,6,7 online. Drive 5 was missing.

I went to check system event log and found that the drive fault was assertedon even when the new HDD was inserted. 

Is it possible that my new HDD fujitsu MBB2174RC firmware wasnt compatible with the server? It doesnt make sense that it didnt work even though I have made the same model purchase to replace the faulty one. Possible backplane faulty? Firmware incompatible issue or new HDD also spoilt?

This is the first time I had encountered this issue. I have called Dell support line and they suspected backplane faulty. But what i understand that the backplane could not have spoilt so easily.

Any advise will be appreciated.

Regards,

Terry

How can i allow some computers to use full internet access without blocking any web sites .

It should not block any web sites from sonic wall .

Please help me how to apply a rule for the above request . My sonicwall is NSA 4600 .

And i need to block https;//youtube.com . The users can access https youtube. The sonicwall is blocking http://youtube.com but not https: 

Please help me to sort out this problem as well .+

Thank you 

I tried everything I read about correcting this issue. The problem occurs on post. It seems to be a hardware failure. Does anyone know if the iDARC is on the motherboard or is it a separate card in the server. Fans are on full speed and nothing showing on the little display that is on the server. 

I am currently getting a sporadic warning message in the lifecycle controller from a number of M620 blade servers which are installed in a Poweredge VRTX chassis. See below for warning message anybody have any idea why this is occurring

Event Message: Login attempt alert for NULL from NULL using NULL, IP will be blocked for NULL seconds.

Date/Time: Wed Apr 06 2016 10:02:11 -0500

Severity: Warning

Detailed Description: The account identified in the message is temporarily disabled because of consecutive unsuccessful Login attempts to iDRAC from the IP address identified in the message.

Recommended Action: Contact the iDRAC administrator and make sure the username and password credentials used are correct. Check the Lifecycle Controller Log (LC Log) to see if more unauthorized iDRAC access attempts are occurring than would be expected due to forgotten account names or passwords.

Message ID: USR0034

Message ID: USR0031

I have a powershell script that I'm using to look through a CSV file to assign a static iDRAC IP based on serial number.  

Here is a command that is working great!

racadm -r $oldIP -u root -p calvin set iDRAC.IPv4.Gateway $gw

the $oldIP and $gw are the variables that have been assigned values previously in my script.

I can verify with 'get iDRAC.IPv4' and all is well with the gateway.

I assign the $gw in the exact same way that I assign the $newIP variable.

Here is the command that will not work with the PowerShell variable:

racadm -r $oldIP -u root -p calvin set iDRAC.IPv4.Address $newIP

Returns: "Error: RAC947: Invalid object value specified."

If I use the exact same command (by hitting the up arrow to get the previous command) and replace $newIP with the actual IP, it works great...if I wanted to manual enter each IP....which I don't.  

I can verify that $newIP is actually assigned the value I need by just calling it separately.  Looks good.  It 'SHOULD' work.  Especially if $gw works fine.  

I've tried every which way from Wednesday to get this to work.  Rearranging things in the code.  Made sure that iDRAC.IPv4.DHCPEnable 0 and iDRAC.IPv4 Enable 1 are set.  Researching for hours trying to find an explanation or reason for the failure.  Can't find anything.  

Can the iDRAC.IPv4.Address command not take anything except an IP address that is actually typed in?  Some sort of validation?

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working?

RACADM version 8.1.0 build 1518 (yeah...I looked into that too).

Hi

I have R710/R620 in office and recently upgraded from VMware5.5 to 6.0.

I checked VMware compatibility list for BIOS for this server.

It says that BIOS ver 2.4.3 is supported while DELL latest version is 2.5.4.

Should i stick with 2.4.3 instate of 2.5.4?

if so,  where i can get ISO image for SUU?

i can find latest here but not able to find download link for 2.4.3.

i know i can download BIOS individually but i need to update other stuff like NIC firmware

so im looking for bundle CD.

Hi!

I'm trying to call the "ImportSSLCertificate" function of the DCIM_iDRACCardService Class.

[Link to Dell document: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20442351]

But i always get an error. I think it is a problem with the "SSLCertificateFile" parameter.

The parameter description says: 

A base 64 encoded string of the XML Certificate
file.
Note: For importing CSC certificate, user has to
convert PKCS file to base64 format. Use the
following link to convert the file.

So how must I convert the file, to use it with this function?

Uploading the file over the WebGui was successful.

Thanks for reply!

Working on trying to update all the firmware on some old R410s for lab use and I'm having issues with the idrac6. The current firmware version is 1.06.10, I've see the article saying we should step the firmware up but the problem is the Dell support and Drivers page doesn't list drivers that old.

The oldest one I was able to find was 1.41 I believe, I have attempted to update to the newest (2.85 I believe) directly via the webgui, ssh/tftp, and in windows. I did successfully update the bios to the newest (1.12 I believe).

Does anyone out there know where I can find the old drivers or where to look on ftp.dell.com? Anything would help, even if you have some old SUUs ISOs.

Thanks,

Derrick

We just purchased an R330 with iDrac 8 Basic and unlike our other Dell servers, this version does not appear to include the virtual console function.  Does this have to be purchased separately now?  Having difficulty getting this simple question answered by Dell Support directly so thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Hi there,

Is it possible to write a script that I can schedule, which will run at a regular interval (say once a month), which will back up & then clear the Hardware Log? Sever is a Dell PowerEdge T310 running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.

I would appreciate any ideas/suggestions.

Thanks a lot.

I have a PowerEdge R730 server with an iDRAC8 card.
We are running them on VMWare ESXi 6.
We have installed the Dell OpenManage Integration package and it has collected all the info from the server.

I need to reset the iDRAC login info.

All my research says to run the "racadm racreset" command from the OMSA.  I thought I saw a link to the OMSA inside VMWare at one point, but can no longer find it.

How do I go about completing this task?

Thanks for any advise.

When I run omreport (RHEL 7, PowerEdge T630, PERC H730p), it shows that the PERC controller is in a degraded state because it is running with Firmware Version 25.3.0.0016 and it claims the Minimum Required Firmware Version is 25.4.0.0011.  The latter has been withdrawn by Dell and this is known to the dsu command so that no upgrade is listed.  What needs to be done to convince omreport that the current recommended Firmware Version is actually 25.3.0.0016?

Hello,

Can somebody please tell when the Dell customized version of ESXi 6.0 Update 2 will be available for downloading? VMware release Update 2 mid March and I was hoping that by now Dell would have had updated the customized version.

Thanks

I have a vmware esxi 6 lab box that is running a PERC H710P adapter.  I am trying to install the OSMA vib so that I can use OM to manage the raid controller in a live state and also use the Raid Migration features which apparently can't be used via the card bios cause I need to add additional disks to an existing Raid-5 configuration

I am trying to install the 8.2/8.3 version but it just skips the install.  I know this is an weird configuration but looking for any pointers.
