In my posting I made one mistake.. instead of the rpm i was using the
bin.
anyway. I pulled the bin open, executed Megacli (instead of megactl)
with the rom-image:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -adpfwflash -f FW612II.rom -a0
Adapter 0: PERC 6/i Integrated
Vendor ID: 0x1000, Device ID: 0x0060
FW version on the controller: 1.22.02-0612
FW version of the image file: 1.22.02-0612
ERROR: The image file has older version than or same as that on the
controller. The controller is not flashed.
Exit Code: 0x01
Pretty clear why upgrading failed.. :-)
I guess Dell has still some cleaning up to do in the scripts so a bit
more logical reason comes forward.. ;-)
@Tim: tnx.. 4 putting me back @ normal path.. :-)
