Recovering iDRAC Firmware Using the CMC
iDRAC firmware is typically updated using iDRAC facilities such as the
iDRAC Web interface, the SM-CLP command line interface, or operating
system specific update packages downloaded from support.dell.com. See the
iDRAC Firmware User’s Guide for instructions for updating the iDRAC
firmware.
If the iDRAC firmware becomes corrupted, as could occur if the iDRAC
firmware update progress is interrupted before it completes, you can use the
CMC Web interface to update its firmware.
If the CMC detects the corrupted iDRAC firmware, the iDRAC is listed on
the Updatable Components page. See "Viewing the Current Firmware
Versions" on page 138 for instructions to display the Updatable Components
page.
