Hi,
I manage 34 R410s and 32 PE1950s. All run CentOS 5.4 and are deployed
with cobbler and managed with puppet, ie. they're all configured
identically.
I mirror the Dell repos with cobbler and deploy the appropriate yum repo
config files with puppet.
On the PE1950s, update_firmware runs just fine. All my PE1950s are
up-to-date.
However, on the R410s, I get the following error:
# update_firmware --yes
hello world from update module doCheck()

It seems to be having trouble with the BIOS update.
Any idea how I might fix this?
