Automatization of iDRAC firmwares in Dell OME 4.3.2
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to fully automatize the installation of iDRAC firmware across 300+ Dell servers in Dell Open Manage Enterprise version 4.3.2
I have made a Baseline under Configuration\Firmware_Driver Compliance with "Select only components with no reboot required" and when I view the report I have the opportunity to deploy the firmware for "iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller" and "Enterprise UEFI Diagnostics".
But then it becomes a manual process. What I would like is that it automatically for instance once a month run the Baseline and then deploys the iDRAC firmware on the servers that are not compliant.
Is this possible either in Dell OME or with RACADM or something else?
Best Regards
Brian

Hello,
Based on the following screen capture in OME, we can only issue remote racadm CLI commands and specifying all the devices as targets.
Racadm scripting would not work if triggered from OME.
From within UI, you can schedule the existing firmware catalog to check for updates from our Dell Online repository on a Daily or Weekly basis
The baseline will check for any available updates in the catalog, but it does not automatically push the updates whenever there’s one available.
You can specify a one-time schedule to perform the updates at a later time but not establish a specific update frequency.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
you can create a script with RACADM to check compliance and deploy updates. You can schedule this script to run periodically using a cron job or Windows Task Scheduler.

Hi,
But this should be done on the server itself and not centrally on Dell OME - am I correct?
Or will I be able to do it from OME with scriptet RACADM?
