About Firmware Updates

The location where servers receive firmware updates is a global setting that is available in the OpenManage Integration

for VMware vCenter on the Settings tab.

Firmware repository settings contain the firmware catalog location used to update deployed servers. There are two

location types:

Dell (ftp.dell.com) Uses the firmware update repository of Dell (ftp.dell.com). The OpenManage Integration for

VMware vCenter downloads selected firmware updates from Dell.

Shared Network

Folder

Created with Dell Repository Manager™. These local repositories are located on CIFS or NFS

file share.

NOTE: Once the repository is created, save it to a location that the registered hosts can access. Repository

passwords cannot exceed 31 characters. Do not use any of the following characters in a password: @, &, %, ', ", ,

(comma), < >

The Firmware Update Wizard always checks for the minimum firmware levels for iDRAC, BIOS, and Lifecycle Controller,

and attempts to update them to required minimum versions. Once iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller, and BIOS firmware

versions meet minimum requirements, the Firmware Update wizard allows updates for all firmware including: iDRAC,

Lifecycle Controller, RAID, NIC/LOM, Power Supply, BIOS, and so on.

NOTE: For 9th and 10th generation servers, BIOS/BMC/DRAC firmware versions are viewable only at the Cluster

View level in vCenter or on the Overview page of the individual host view. Firmware version information is not

active in the individual host view under Firmware, and that page appears grayed out, and remote firmware

updates are not available.

Firmware Versions After October 14, 2010

For Firmware updated on or after October 14th, 2010, the Firmware Update Wizard runs.

Firmware Versions Newer Than July 29, 2009 and Prior to October 14th

If your firmware was updated on or after July 29, 2009 and prior to October 14, 2010, you still will not see the Firmware

Update Wizard, but you are delivered an ISO bundle to update your firmware. After this update, you may not have the

latest firmware. After you run the bundle, it is recommended that you run the update again.

Firmware Versions Older than July 29, 2009

If your firmware is older than July 29, 2009, you may have to download and run the ISO file to update your machines.

After you run the ISO, it is recommended that you run the Firmware Update Wizard again.
