Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise 53

When using iDRAC6 Web interface or CMC Web interface, place the

firmware binary image on a disk that is accessible to the management station

from which you are running the Web interface. See "Updating iDRAC6

Firmware" on page 123.

NOTE: iDRAC6 Web interface also allows you to reset iDRAC6 configuration to the

factory defaults.

NOTE: If the configuration is not preserved during firmware update, 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.

You can use CMC Web interface or CMC RACADM to update iDRAC6

firmware. This feature is available when iDRAC6 firmware is in Normal

mode, as well as when it is corrupted. See "Updating iDRAC6 Firmware Using

CMC" on page 124.

NOTE: If you are rolling back iDRAC6 firmware to an earlier version, delete the

existing Internet Explorer ActiveX browser plug-in on any Windows-based

management station to allow the firmware to install a compatible version of the

ActiveX plug-in.

Verifying the Digital Signature for Linux DUPs

A digital signature is used to authenticate the identity of the signer of a file

and to certify that the original content of the file has not been modified since

it was signed.

If you do not already have it installed on your system, you must install the

GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) to verify a digital signature.

To use the standard verification procedure, perform the following steps:

Download the Dell Linux public GnuPG key by navigating to

lists.us.dell.com

and clicking the

Dell Public GPG key

link. Save the file

to your local system. The default name is

linux-security-publickey.txt

Import the public key to your GPG trust database by running the following

command:

gpg --import <Public Key Filename>
