bios update problem on the PE2950 due firmware-tools

[Lunev, Ilja]

Hello,

we are pleased to use firmware-tools for the bios update our PE2950 servers.
But now for unknown reason we cannot do it. I've found a new BIOS update on the Dell download site, but it seems not to exist on the Dell repository.

-------
# getSystemId
Libsmbios:    2.1.0
System ID:    0x01B2
Service Tag:  DKJDP2J
Express Service Code: 29540045611
Product Name: PowerEdge 2950
BIOS Version: 2.3.1
Vendor:       Dell Inc.
Is Dell:      1
--------

# yum -y install $(bootstrap_firmware)
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x25e2)/system(ven_0x1028_dev_0x01b2) available.
.....
Nothing to do
-------------
# update_firmware

Running system inventory...

Searching storage directory for available BIOS updates...
Checking System BIOS for PowerEdge 2950 - 2.3.1
        Did not find a newer package to install that meets all installation checks.

This system does not appear to have any updates available.
No action necessary.
----------------

But a new BIOS for the PE2950 is PE2950_BIOS_LX_2.4.3.BIN

Can you help  us?

Thank you.


best regards / beste Gruesse,

Ilja Lunev
