I checked again, and it is definitely a license restriction. I deleted the enterprise license from one of our lab servers and the option to specify location became grayed out. [IMAGE][IMAGE]
I just received a brand new T440 server. Unfortunately it does not allow me to update the firmware to the latest version. When I login to the iDRAC web interface of that T440 server and click on "Maintenance" -> "System Update" -> "Manual Update", I only get a grayed out, disabled "Location Type" drop down box which is firmly set to "Local". So I cannot select "http", "https", "ftp", etc.[IMAGE]     I don't assume this is normal, is it? I have checked the network configuration settings dozen times. I tried DHCP, as well manual network configuration (with of course correct static IP, netmask, gateway and DNS server). But the result is always the same: I can login to the iDRAC web interface, but the update feature is disabled like shown above. I also checked whether iDRAC actually got a working Internet connection by clicking on "Diagnostics" and then pinging a Dell download server, and that went just fine without any error or packet loss. What I could not check so far was whether iDRAC for some reason got an issue with DNS resolving, because I could not find a diagnostic command that would do that. Is there one? Also what I found strange: this T440 server was shipped with iDRAC version 3.21.21.21, that's from June 2018! Is that normal nowadays that Dell servers are no longer shipped with an (at least somewhat) recent firmware version? I mean Dell sent me this server just days ago.
