AW: updating iDrac under CentOS

[Heiko Engemann]

Hello,
we use CentOS 5.2.

I was able to update the firmware by using the DOS update, unpacking it and than using the iDRAC webGUI to update.
I got the tip that doing a BIOS update prior to the firmware update could help,
but it didnt help in my case.

I think there is something wrong in the script.

thx for your help


greetings


Heiko

What version CentOS?
I didn't experience any problems

Maybe it cannot write to /tmp or /var/tmp
seems like it xml parsing error
