So I searched for idrac pictures and there are lots of little variations. Oh well. In any case, here is some useful info for others: 1. If you get this kind of error message, # ./IDRAC_FRMW_LX_R218238.BIN /tmp/IDRAC_FRMW_LX_R218238.BIN-26250-16229/spsetup.sh: line 124: source: buildVer.sh: file not found # 1.1. extract the .BIN file as Stephen Dowdy showed in a previous message 1.2. Fine the entry for the file not found in spsetup.sh, in this case typeset -r _BUILDVER=buildVer.sh and add "./" to the front of it, typeset -r _BUILDVER="./buildVer.sh" 2. If it barks it cannot file lockfile, get the one (at least in centos) in the procmail package. And now I think I am back to the original question since the *right* idrac firmware docs say 1.80 and 1.85 recommend BIOS 6.0.4 or newer; I am on 3.0.0. Per Stephen Smoogen, I will have to walk up the tree from 3.0.0 to 6.6.0. Thing is I have not found the url for where Dell hide the old BIOS. The quest goes on... At least I was able to make a small knowledge contribution based on my misadventures... > > -- > Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
