Hello,
We have several servers and majority run Scientific Linux 6.3 (It's based off of RedHat).
Normally, Dell supplies us with a update_firmware utility, but it seems to lag behind when it comes to firmware updates by a few versions. Does anyone know why? Or how to fix it? yum update returns nothing (with dell repos added), and update_firmware says i'm up to date when I can see on dell's website that I am not.
Another method that I've resorted to, for the time being, is to use the "Unified Server Configurator" to update firmware and bios. But it is very slow, tedious, and cumbersome (I have to update in a certain order or else it errors out and crashes). However, on my R410 server, it has version 1.0 and doesn't have any "platform update" option. How do I update it so I can gain the ability to update bios/firmware? I can't seem to find out how online
Thank you,
Jonathan
