Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] iDRAC6 Serial Access to RACADM

iDRAC has the ability to change the port for ssh to something other than 22. It also has the ability to upload ssh keys so you make the password complex and rely on the keys. Sorry I don't have more help for serial access to DRAC. Cameron Smith Technical Operations Manager Network Redux, LLC

Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] dell-system-update package 1.4.0-17.02.00

Dells OOB options work quite well. Either OME to fully update firmware remotely over DRAC connection or just use OME for firmware version awareness and manually update firmware through DRAC. I left Dell OS level tools years ago due to memory leaks and incompatibility issues. Cameron On Tue,

Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] Is the concept of the Lifecycle Controller just being abandoned by Dell?

IMHO The Lifecycle Controller works great and I manually upload firmware upgrades to it's job queue all the time. It is also what handles updates sent from OME which I also use. ftp.dell.com on the other hand is a joke. It needs to be rearchitected to handle the bandwidth to deliver files quickly

Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] Rebuilding Array

I like using MegaCli to view the disk health, see if there are media errors, see if there is a SMART warning etc. If the drive has lots of media errors it would be prudent to not put it back into the raid and to replace it. You can also use MegaCli to view the controller logs to actually see what

[Linux-PowerEdge] Catalog Updates

I see that the catalog at https://ftp.dell.com/catalog/ has not been updated since March 22 2018. The 11Gen 6.5 BIOS updates that were released on March 20 are not in that catalog so we are three weeks out on critical BIOS updates. Will the catalog be updated soon? Cameron

For localizing the repo you can look into Dell Repo Manager: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/ DriversDetails?driverId=2GY7P You can customize the repo if you need to hold back a version for anything and it's a great tool. Runs on Linux now!!! For firmware updates I used to
