Troubleshooting

BIOS Update fails with 'System Services is disabled'.

When running the .BIN file, it errors out with System Services is disabled. This happens when the Lifecycle Controller is disabled.

The Lifecycle Controller can be re-enabled via iDRAC:

$ ssh admin@ipmi-address
admin@ipmi-address's password:
/admin1->
/admin1-> racadm

racadm>>
racadm>>set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 0


racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 0
Object value modified successfully

racadm>>set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 1


racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 1
Object value modified successfully

Once enabled (you may need to reboot?), re-run the .BIN file and reboot to apply the update.
