Updating rmware using FTP, TFTP, or HTTP

You can setup an FTP, TFTP, or HTTP server and congure iDRAC to use it for performing rmware updates. You can use the Windows-

based update packages (DUPs) and a catalog le.

NOTE: Lifecycle Controller must be enabled and you must have Server Control privilege to update rmware for devices other

than iDRAC.

1 In the iDRAC web interface, go to Overview > iDRAC Settings > Update and Rollback.

The Firmware Update page is displayed.

2 On the Update tab, select the desired option in File Location—FTP, TFTP, or HTTP.

3 Enter the required details in the elds that are displayed.

For information about the elds, see the iDRAC Online Help.

4 Click Check for Update.

5 After the upload is complete, the Update Details section displays a comparison report showing the current rmware versions and the

rmware versions available in the repository.

NOTE: Updates that are unsupported or not applicable to the system or installed hardware are not included in the

comparison report.

6 Select the required updates and do one of the following:

• For rmware images that do not require a host system reboot, click Install. For example, .d7 rmware le.

• For rmware images that require a host system reboot, click Install and Reboot or Install Next Reboot.

• To cancel the rmware update, click Cancel.

When you click Install, Install and Reboot, or Install Next Reboot, the message Updating Job Queue is displayed.

7 To display the Job Queue page, click Job Queue. On this page, you can view and manage the staged rmware updates. Click OK to

refresh the current page and view the status of the rmware update.
