Great news all around. I know I'd heard from people in the past who had
trouble getting this to work, so I'll post what worked for me.
Package prerequisites:
Yum-dellsysid
dell-firmware-repository-1-4
Dell_inventory_collector
Dell-dup
Firmware-addon-dell
I think bootstrap is supposed to get you all of those, but I had some issues
with it so I'm just mirroring those into my local yum repo.
Then:
#!/bin/sh
yum -y install $(bootstrap_firmware)
fwdir=/usr/share/firmware/dell
for payload_dir in `find $fwdir -type d -name payload`; do
cp $payload_dir/* `dirname $payload_dir`
done
update_firmware -yes
The copy is a workaround for certain payloads that were unpacking into the
wrong directory...this may have been fixed now that the repo is officially
supported.
Obviously be careful about the last step, because bad things can happen if you
lose power or whatever when flashing, and you'll have to reboot for updates to
take effect.
