I've seen this happen in two circumstances. The first being in the case of a large upgrade in firmware. The second is if the iDRAC is lagging behind the BIOS target version. If you've tried multiple BIOS updates, I would try flashing the iDRAC. The current iDRAC version is 2.63.60.61. What version is the server running? Also, do you have a link to the file you are using to try to update?
Hi Dell Community, I downloaded the old and latest version of my dell r730xd bios version. When I try to upload the file from my idrac settings > Update and Rollback > Update, Choose File, Upload > Once completed the status "Unable to complete the firmware update operation because the specified firmware image is not in the target system inventory". What does status means? Even I try the lower version up to the latest but the same status result. Cheer! \m/
