6. Mount the Hardware ISO to the iDRAC from the remote share, where the following command is all on one line:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> remoteimage -c -u <myuser> -p <mypass> -l //
<myip>/SIORN/VxFlex-Ready-Node-Hardware-Update-for-Dell_14G_2018_May_A00.iso
Where:
<dracIP> is the iDRAC IP address
l
<password> is the password for the server
l
<myuser> is the NFS/CIFS share username
l
<mypass> is the NFS/CIFS share password
l
<myip> is the NFS/CIFS server IP
l
Note: The default password is Scaleio123.
7. Enable the iDRAC VirtualCD to boot once using these Remote RACADM commands:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> set iDRAC.ServerBoot.BootOnce Enabled
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> set iDRAC.ServerBoot.FirstBootDevice VCD-DVD
8. Verify that the server is in a state in which it can be power-cycled. (The OS should be in maintenance mode, as
needed).
9. Power-cycle the VxFlex Ready Node server:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> serveraction graceshutdown
10. Repeat steps 6 on page 65
updates and configuration. All servers can be updated in parallel.
11. Wait for the configuration and firmware updates to complete. The server console screen will indicate when the
script is complete.
WARNING Do not reboot the VxFlex Ready Node server while the update process is being performed!
The iDRAC will be reset several times during the update process. This causes the iDRAC virtual console viewer to
close, virtual media to disconnect, and the iDRAC browser window to be unavailable for several minutes during
each reset. The hardware update scripts will continue to run from RAM on the server.
The update script will generate a log indicating whether each configuration and firmware flash is successful.
12. (Optional) Check each VxFlex Ready Node server's log for successful competition:
a. Connect to the iDRAC KVM console screen.
b. After the update script completes, press Alt+F2 to access a user console, and then Enter to log in.
c. Check the log contents for errors:
less /bundleapplicationlogs/apply_components.log
For more information, see
d. Press q to exit the log viewer, and then Alt+F1 to access the original console screen.
