Usually BIOS, iDRAC and LC updates go together, so you might want to update LC and iDRAC as well. However after re-reading the thread I think the issue seems to be originating from these two statements: > The new one said I had did not have a Dell approved upgrade in my memory. > and did not have a license for the upgrade, so repair actions would not be > applied. > It also said something about me needing a 'vflash' to authorize a license > for the memory upgrade. This would be an iDRAC license most likely. But I can't possibly tell why it would complain. I've never seen or heard that Dell is rejecting non-DELL RAM. They used to complain about non-DELL harddrives. But RAM?!?! That's news to me. vflash (it's actually an SDcard slot) can be used as a storage space for OS, drivers, and apparently also licenses.
