50 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
You can use the CMC Web interface or CMC RACADM to update the
iDRAC6 firmware. This feature is available both when iDRAC6 firmware is in
Normal mode, as well as when it is corrupted. See "Updating iDRAC6
Firmware Using the CMC."
NOTE: After the CMC updates iDRAC6 firmware, iDRAC6 generates new SHA1 and
MD5 keys for the SSL certificate. Because the keys are different from those in the
open Web browser, all browser windows that are connected to iDRAC6 must be
closed after the firmware update is complete. If the browser windows are not
closed, an Invalid Certificate error message is displayed.
NOTE: If you are rolling back iDRAC6 firmware to an earlier version, you must
delete the existing Internet Explorer ActiveX
®
browser plugin on any
Windows-based Management Station to allow the firmware to install a compatible
version of the ActiveX plugin. See "Deleting the ActiveX Plugin" for more
information.
