veria is running Server 2008 R2, which has the driver built-in.  Neither Dell nor Microsoft has a driver newer than the one native to 2008 R2 - in other words, for his situation, the driver does not exist by itself. In your situation, running either 2003x64 or 2008x64, your driver is already up-to-date as well, so there is no need to update it: 2003 - www.dell.com/.../poweredge-2950 2008 - www.dell.com/.../poweredge-2950 However, your Microsoft "storport" driver is out of date ... follow this article on how to obtain and install it after updating your other firmware: www.dell.com/.../poweredge-2950 Your firmware, at 5.2.2.0072 is also up-to-date, so there is no need to update it either. Just make sure your BIOS and ESM are updated, and you are good to go.
I recently acquired a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server for some additional file storage on our network. The Dell Open Manage Server Administrator is reporting my PERC 5/i Integrated Controller firmware is out of date.  Here are the details:  I proceeded to download the firmware from the Dell website and it appears I need to reboot the server to a command prompt type state so I can initiate the batch file to update the firmware on the controller. What is the best method / procedure to do this?  I tried booting from my Windows Server 2008 CD and getting to a command prompt, but the installer was saying it was an incompatible operating system (I'm assuming due to Win Server 64 bit and the installer is only 32?). Just really looking for the best way to get this firmware updated. TIA for any assistance!
