Issue 27: Using OpenManage Integration to update an Intel Network card with the rmware version of 13.5.2 is not supported.
Description: There is a known issue with Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers and some Intel Network cards with the rmware
version of 13.5.2. Updating some models of Intel network cards at this version of rmware fails when the rmware update is applied
using the Lifecycle Controller.
Resolution/Workaround: Customers with this version of rmware must update the network driver software using an operating
system. If the Intel Network card has a version of rmware other than 13.5.2, you can update using OpenManage Integration. For
more information, see http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2013/03/20/intel-network-controller-card-
with- v13-5-2-rmware-cannot-be-upgraded-using-lifecycle-controller-to-v13-5-6.aspx
NOTE: When using the one-to-many rmware update, avoid selecting Intel network adapters that are at version 13.5.2, as
this will fail and stop the update task from updating remaining servers.
Version Aected: All
Issue 28: Firmware upgrade or downgrade of Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) from rmware
version of 6.2.x or earlier is not supported.
Description: Using the OpenManage Integration to upgrade a Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) from
rmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a rmware version of 6.2.x or earlier is not supported.
Resolution/Workaround: There is a known issue with the Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter (BCM57712) where
updating the adapter from rmware version of 6.2.x or earlier, or downgrade to a rmware version of 6.2.x or earlier fails when the
update is applied using the Lifecycle Controller. When attempting to perform this update using the OpenManage Integration, the
update may incorrectly show that it completed successfully. However, the rmware update will have failed and remain at the
previous level. One way to successfully update the adapter software for the Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter
(BCM57712) is for customers to update the adapter rmware from an operating system.
Version Aected: All
Issue 29: Running rmware update may display an error message “The rmware repository le does not exist or is invalid”.
Description: While running the Firmware Update wizard, at the datacenter or cluster level, an error message may be displayed “The
rmware repository le does not exist or is invalid.” This may be due to a daily background process that was unable to download and
cache the catalog le from the repository. This occurs if the catalog le is not reachable at the time the background process runs.
Resolution/Workaround: After resolving any catalog connectivity issues that may exist, you can re-initiate the background process
by changing the rmware repository location, and then setting it back to the original location. Allow about 5 minutes for the
background process to complete.
