PE1800, CentOS 5.3
OMSA 5.5.0-364
dell-omsa-repository-2-5
firmware-addon-dell-2.1.2-4.5.el5
dell-community-repository-1-10.3.el5
dell_inventory_collector-6.1.0-1
dell-onlinediags-2.12.0-71
dell-dup-1.1.2-1.30.el5
dell-firmware-repository-1-4
I used
yum install dell_inventory_collector
yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)
this put all the FW stuff into /usr/share/firmware/dell, then I run
==== work-around for firmware update bug
fwdir=/usr/share/firmware/dell
for payload_dir in `find $fwdir -type d -name payload`; do
cp $payload_dir/* `dirname $payload_dir`
done
====
then
update_firmware --yes
and it updated BIOS, PERC, BackPlane, BMC.
All seems to be fine (system reports new BIOS, PERC FW, ...), but I see that
at every boot the start of the dataeng service is now slower, it takes 1 or
2 minutes, and in the process table I see a lot of weird process names
during this time, like LSIPIE.bin and similar (all stuff from
/usr/share/firmware/dell).
It's like dataeng is trying at every boot to update something.
Should I delete the entire content of /usr/share/firmware/dell after a
successful update to avoid this confusing and slow behavior?
What are the rpm names of the FW data I can uninstall as opposed to the rpm
names blonging to the infrastructure I want to keep?
ie, these?
$ rpm -qa | grep PowerEdge
BMC_Firmware_componentid_05814_for_PowerEdge_2800-a10-21
system_bios_PowerEdge_2800-a07-20
Server_System_BIOS_componentid_00159_for_PowerEdge_2800-a07-21
Backplane_Firmware_componentid_03967_for_PowerEdge_2800-a01-21
Perc_4e_Di_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0013_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x016e_for_PowerEdge_2800-
a19-21
$
Unfortunately the system is in a remote location, I'd like to uninstall the
right rpms w/o causing trouble at the next boot.
Thanks
