Probably has nothing to do with the OS's end. On my r815, which also
use iDrac6(as probably all 11th gen) it is BIOS update that broke
virtual console. Windows also fails to connect.
This is the kind of predictable outcome which makes me wonder why some
people are zealots about upgrading firmware. For most of us, the
machines work fine and the new firmware does nothing more for us than
giving a warm and fuzzy feeling from knowing it's the latest bootstrap
code. Others discover they're herding 6,000 boat anchors that just the
day before were 6,000 fine Dell servers.
Obviously I'm not talking about situations where you update to fix a
problem that does affect you, which is rare, and so my advice is to not
upgrade without good reason.
