Dell PowerEdge server firmware update | Dell Repository Manager (DRM)

Описание: Server firmware must be kept up-to-date, especially before major virtualization upgrades (like moving to ESXi 7.0). This video walks you through the modern, official Dell process, which involves creating a platform-specific bootable ISO since Dell retired the direct ISO download links in March 2022.

What you will learn in this Dell Firmware Update Tutorial:
Why Firmware Updates are Critical: The importance of updating firmware, especially before a VMware ESXi upgrade [00:49]
Introducing Dell Repository Manager (DRM): How Dell transitioned to DRM (version 3.4+) for creating update media [05:04]
Downloading the DRM Tool: Finding the correct download link and installing the Dell EMC Repository Manager [06:16]
Creating the Bootable ISO: Using DRM to generate a platform-specific bootable ISO file for your server model (e.g., PowerEdge R620) [09:22]
iDRAC Console Access: Logging into the server's iDRAC interface to perform the update remotely [12:26]
Mapping the Virtual Media: Connecting the downloaded ISO file to the server using the iDRAC virtual media feature [13:54]
Booting from Virtual CD: Using F11 to enter the BIOS Boot Manager and selecting the Virtual CD to initiate the update [20:38]
Verification: Confirming the new firmware version after the update process is complete [24:55]
Pro-Tip: Always run the firmware update process from a dedicated Jump Machine, not a Wi-Fi-connected laptop, to avoid interruptions! [15:00]
