AW: updating iDrac under CentOS

[Marciniszyn, Michael A]

This issue was also affecting us, although we were using the Altiris Linux Pre OS to do the updates in an automated fashion.

We were able to produce a 1.20 .BIN that works (using RHEL4.5) with this procedure:

1. Cut/Paste the scripts from below (at snip).
2. Download PEM600_ESM_FRMW_LX_R186432.BIN (the 1.11 version) to the current directory.
3. Download PEM600_IDRAC_FRMW_LX_R197554.BIN (the 1.20 version) to the current directory.
4. Create iDDRAC-1.11 and iDRAC-1.20 in the current directory.  Use the -extract option on the both to iDRAC-1.11 and iDRAC-1.20 in the current directory:
  ./ PEM600_ESM_FRMW_LX_R186432.BIN -extract iDRAC-1.20
  ./ PEM600_IDRAC_FRMW_LX_R197554.BIN -extract iDRAC-1.11
4. Run the attached crackdup.sh on the 1.11 .BIN to produce sezgen.sh, package.xml, and archive.tar.gz in the current directory:
  sh ./crackdup.sh PEM600_ESM_FRMW_LX_R186432.BIN
5. Copy iDRAC-1.20/payload/firmimg.imc to iDRAC-1.11, overwriting the 1.11 firmware file.
6. Copy the iDRAC-1.20/package.xml to iDRAC-1.11.
7. Copy iDRAC-1.20/package.xml to overwrite package.xml in the current directory.
8. cd to iDRAC-1.11. and run the following command to update the tar archive:
   tar -zcvf ../archive.tar.gz
9. Run rebuilddup.sh:
   sh rebuilddup.sh PEM600_IDRAC_FRMW_LX_R197554-CUSTOM.BIN

This .BIN file is deployable from RHEL command line or from Altiris and the result is a 1.20 version.
