Finally I got it, although i did not resolve the IPMI issue. I updated the RAC firmware using the command racadm. First, I got the firmware from ftp.dell.com/.../f_drac5v160_A00.exe, then extract, and updated the firmware using the command from a linux shell "racadm fwupdate -p -u -d /root/". Thanks anyway.
Hi I am trying to upgrade de DRAC software on a Dell PowerEdge 2900 due to the problems the current version has to access the console with moder browsers (XML errors). Current version is "1.30 (07.10.08)" and the new version I am trying to install is "Dell Remote Access Controller - DRAC 5, v.1.51, A00" (from file RAC_FRMW_LX_R253040.BIN). But when I try to install the upgrade, after reading the notes, I get this error: ===================================================== # lsb_release -dDescription:    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # uname -aLinux XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # ./RAC_FRMW_LX_R253040.BIN Collecting inventory.....Load lib IPMI is not available.
