In this video, we will show how to perform mass updates on your R720 server via the Lifecycle Controller. You will need an active Internet connection, a Laptop/Desktop, and a NIC installed in your R720. You will also need some Ethernet cables to connect the devices. You will want to connect your R720 to your network, so it has Internet access. You can do this by connecting the R720's NIC to a switch or directly to the network. You will then set the server's IP address, so it can join the network. You can then access Dells Update downloads catalog via HTTPs in Lifecycle controller. Depending on the last time you updated your system, these updates can take hours. The speed and power of your system as well as the number of updates selected also plays a role in how long these updates will take. We run our servers overnight and sometimes come back in and the updates have not finished.... so yes, be patient and expect this to take a fair amount of time. Setting up the updates will only take a matter of minutes and is relatively easy.

It's showing warning : Lifecycle Controller does not import HTTPS certificate at this. When press continue another critical error is showing (SUP0539). Enter another repository location that contains the desired update packages and retry the operation. Please help me to sort this issue.
Same for me
i found same problem event upgrade from SUU put all file on USB stick
If you've found a solution, I'd love to hear it. I've tried using HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, and a flash drive. I *think* the solution might be to create a bootable USB with Dell Repository Manager installed, then load the updates into that. If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas. I was really hoping to have my server running by now, but such is life.
I've got the same problem
if doesn't work use this updateyodell.net/
You made that look to easy. I have tried everything and I cant seem to get my r720 to update. I have updated the bios and LCC manually and still gives me errors. Any suggestions?
hi @cloudninjas, when did the feature for network online share go into effect? mine doesnt have that as an option, im assuming i probably need to upgrade the bios to get there?
Does this do the updates straight to the latest firmware versions or does it incrementally update from your current version up to the latest version?
Great question. This will be a one time update to the current, most up to date FW. However it will not continuously update your FW over time. Essentially you will need to repeat these steps every so often to keep up to date. Thank you. Smash that subscribe. 😁
@Cloud Ninjas Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I think Dan is referring more to the increments in which the firmware is being updated, idrac for example. I recently acquired an r720xd and have read horror stories about people updating straight to the newest firmware from a very old version and bricking their idrac. Have you guys experienced anything like this?
@@cloudninjas so do ya only answer 'great' questions? I see more below...
@@barrycarter3029Can you let us know how it went? My first enterprise gear (r720) is in the mail. I have been working woth consumer boards for decades and there is often a similar situation with UEFI/BIOS. Mobo manufacturers thankfully (ime) let you know which update(s) is/are required before patching up to current version.
I am very excited about my adventure into homelabbing. The plan is to take my time and not brick anything. Thanks in advance!
I get a message saying to choose a new repository. I followed exactly as shown, except for ipv4 settings, as ours is already set as a static IP.
I'm having the same issue. I can't go through HTTPS, HTTP, or FTP. I also get messages trying to use a flash drive. I *think* my next steps are to get the Dell Repository Manager installed on a bootable USB drive, then try that. If that fails, I don't know what to do.
Did you have any luck figuring things out?
Hi
Newvie getting stuck !!
I get into the Lifestyle controller section.
i can move down and choose the Settings section on the Left hand side, but unable to move curser over to the Right hand section to choose an option, Is there an option somewhere which is stopping this action. ??
Thanks
Mr FW
Typical of most tubers...no answer... Sorry, but I believe you are worth the time.
Invalid repository.
When I try to do this method. Its showing me a error (SWC0066) critical error.
I am getting this as well. Plus I do not have the option to use HTTPS, only HTTP. Says to verify login credentials.
@@iammoeski8928 I haven't been able to get this to download the updates but to switch from http to https you have to update the IDRAC software. I had to load a live Windows media which can be done with Rufus and install the exe that way then it will allow you to do https.
