R650 not attaching to a baseline

Question

We have 3 x R650s that I recently inventoried via iDRAC user authentication. Two of them are able to attach to an R650 baseline I created. One does not see the R650 baseline when I check the device under the Devices tab, and then go to More Actions > Update > Update source. Any hints on what I can do to get the last R650 connected to it's baseline?

Thanks!

Hi,

The 3rd R650 might be inventoried, can you check Devices > Device Inventory check the Model column for the problematic server. If it’s not showing as “PowerEdge R650,” the baseline may not match due to model mismatch. I can't recal exactly, but in Firmware Compliance, Baseline, there is devices listed under Compliant and Non-Compliant, check if the server is in Non Compliant or Not Applicable (Page 179). Have you tried removing the server and re-Discover the server (Page 83)? Also, have you tried running manual inventory of the server (Page 107)?

Good news. I created a new baseline, and now the R650 is able to see if. I couldn't figure out how to update drivers without a baseline.  Thanks for your feedback @DELL-Joey C​

Hi,

I don't think there is any other way to update drivers or firmware without baseline. Without a baseline, the compliance check would not have any to refer. Good to know you had things running now without issues after creating a new baseline.
