Dell BIOS Update

Troubleshooting

When running the .BIN file, I get 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, re-run the .BIN file and reboot to apply the update.
