Hi, First time I click next at 5:01 I got a message that Network setting is not set up. Please help me with this information. Then I put the IP address of my server and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and 192.168.0.1 for the Gateway IP and when I click next getting the error that: Unable to resolve host name. Please help me.
Sadly this doesn't work anymore, GEN11 (like the R710) has been removed from the official DELL catalog, now i have to find another way to update my BIOS and other components :(
I tried this about an hour ago. For some reason my idrac wouldnt let me open a session so I logged in on bootup. It went to get the updates but wouldnt download them as it was looking for a damn windows file. Im running a custom flavor of linux server software. I cant get the h700 card in my r710 to recognize my twin 6 tb drives. Its still seeing all of my drives as 2tb max. This is pissing me off something awful. Anyone got any ideas? I was figuring the firmware on the h700 just needs to be flashed
Since the files for updates are no longer attainable via Lifecycle Controller, people should opt for using linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/ To upgrade a DELL PowerEdge R710, create a CentOS 7 installation in BIOS mode on a USB stick with dsu installed. Then boot into this and simply run dsu.
A working approach (verified this week): using linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/ To upgrade a DELL PowerEdge Generation 11 model, create a CentOS 7 installation in BIOS mode on a USB stick with dsu installed. Then boot into this and simply run dsu. I have tried all other approaches from DELL Repository manager to booting into the Platform Update ISO but not a single one actually works, lifecycle controller is dead (since it only uses Windows update files and not the published Linux update files). CentOS 7 + dsu is the only working approach as of now.
@@DanielStefanReichenbach So just boot a live centos7 off a usb ? I tried, but it failed, I think dsu was trying to write to the usb but its read only, or am I doing it wrong, thanks
I just wanted to add an update to this, that my method described in the video still works perfectly. I did this to a new Dell R210ii that I just picked up, with the same files as mentioned above. Nothing special needed :)
Hello,
even after 6 years it is stil usefull this info. Thank you!
in 2024 still works
Thanks that helped. Clear and straight to the point!

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm.
J R You're very welcome! Glad to see my mumbling helped someone!

Thanks very useful, but how did you enter the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller menu where you're at from the beginning of the video?
When booting up you will see iDRAC6 asking to be configured with a press of CTRL+E. Do that, then log in using default credentials for iDRAC6.

"Note: DSU Ubuntu enablement is only available for 12G and 13G systems" - R710 is 11G isn't it?
Tried and failed, seems the FTP doesn't exist any more.
They now use https and downloads.dell.com but LC 1.7.5 doesn't handle https :/
This doesn't work in 2022 for Dell R710.
no, have you figured out a better way? I just started looking
Thanks! So easy even a cave man can do it!
Awesome, still worked for me even to go from Lifecycle Controller Firmware Not Available to 1.7.5.4 with the link provided in the description.
You mean, still working? With a poweredge r710???
Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try this. It no longer works as dell as pulled support for all 11G servers
So there is no way to still update?
@@NatteKrentenbol you can download the iso off Dells website but it's a bit hit and miss
