If you are not using a PTM then it should not apply. Make sure the system BIOS, iDRAC, and CMC are up to date. If they are not up to date then update them and try to update the LOM firmware again. If it still does not update properly then update from the host operating system. If the host OS is not supported by our update packages then you can boot to our Support Live Image and use the RHEL packages. www.dell.com/support/contents/article/product-support/self-support-knowledgebase/enterprise-resource-center/enterprise-tools/support-live-image Thanks
I'm having issues updating the Broadcom BCM5720 4-port NIC firmware on two PowerEdge M520 (VRTX) servers. All other firmware components on both the M520's and VRTX were upgraded successfully. It seems that each individual NIC port is updated during the firmware update, but in my case I can only get 2 of the 4 ports to update. Current firmware version on the NIC is 7.10.17. I've tried updating to a number of newer versions, including the latest (20.6.52). In the case of the two ports that fail to upgrade, the updated firmware is shown as the rollback version in the DRAC/CMC, the other two ports show the correct new firmware version. The VRTX does include the FlexAddress functionality. I have tried updating the firmware after disabling FlexAddress on a server slot but it appeared to make no difference. I see nothing useful in the hardware or chassis log. The Lifecycle Log does appear to report a successful upgrade. Is there a specific procedure for upgrading the Broadcom BCM5720 NIC firmware on a PowerEdge M520 within a VRTX chassis???? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!
