• Using OpenManage Essentials to deploy firmware on ESXi 5.1 servers

  It is possible to deploy updates firmware on server ESXi 5.1 uses OpenManage Essentials?  ESXi servers in our environment are discovered and inventoried, but the deployment of the firmware option is not available.  ESXi servers do not appear on the 'Systems' or 'Non-compliant' tabs under Manage\System update.

  Currently using:

  OpenManage Essentials 1.3 (installed on a Windows 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition Server)

  5.1 ESXi (installed on Dell PowerEdge 900 servers)

  Ah, just noticed you said PE R900.  Those who can not have an iDRAC... so could be a problem given this config.

• Update firmware H730 on ESXi

  We have two R530 running ESXi 5.5. They run slightly updated firmware on controllers RAID minis H730 I would like to update.

  The problem is the firmware update files I can find are if you are on Windows or Linux. How do I the R530 firmware update if I run ESXi? I am aware of the image of Dell SUU, but it's more than 10 GB is size, which is much too big, even for a DVD double layer.

  Dell do not seem to offer a "hard drive" version of the firmware from what I see.

• Unable to update firmware for the PERC 5 controller / i on PE1950

  We have 6 PE1950 server with SAS PERC 5 / i integrated RAID controllers. Dell OpenManage complains about being obsolete PERC firmware. 2 servers I currently have running, firmware 5.2.1 - 0062 and 5.1.1 - 0040. I downloaded the latest version of 5.2.2 - 0072. I tried the update by the Windows package and who did not, and he complain about the OS being too recent. A server is Windows Server 2008 R2 and the other Windows Server R2 2012. So, I created a BACK USB key with Dell hard drive files and run update.bat. Who failed on both servers with the following errors:

  Firmware doesn't have flash. Stop!

  Failed to update Firmware for controller 0

  The process of updating of the firmware of the controller does not have!

  Both servers had the exact same mistakes as described above. Ideas on how I can get the firmware update successfully? I checked the package I downloaded is for the PERC 5 / I integrated.

  It's here (if that will allow me to post a link):

• Update Firmware of BMC R610 of linux

  Hi mates,

  I need to update a few R610 servers, I would like to only update the BMC Firmware if possible without shutting down the machines, is - it possible? I'm running debian on these machines.

  I open it because I've been Googling much this and I found that maybe there are several ways to update the firmwares of server, including the iDRAC completely update, etc., but I am only interested to get the latest patches of cooling, so I guess that should be only update BMC.

  Could you please some direct me in the right direction? I looked and I found some binary files in dell FTP, but I need to be sure of where to find the correct firmwares for my machines and what is the most common method through linux so far.

  Thank you comrades, I appreciate the help.

  Hello

  There is no separate BMC firmware in R610. You need to update firmware iDRAC who BMC features as well. Down, you can load the latest firmware iDRAC at the bottom of the location

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/product/PowerEdge-R610?driverId=63KCR&osCode=NAA&FILEID=3287900761&LanguageCode=en&CategoryID=es

  You can update the firmware iDRAC without stopping or restarting the system. As you have debian on these machines, I recommend you update iDRAC using Web GUI. You can check below link with a video on the updating of the process. First half of the video is on the download of the image that has changed a bit. You can download the File Format 'Application' link above.

• Update firmware HBA Qlogic? Or delivered with the driver?

  I'm about to start resettlement of esxi clusters 5.1 to 5.5. By doing this, I get all the updated firmware. We are System X IBM has a pretty good bundler of everything. The only exception is for 2562 Qlogic which was an optional update. I'm bios 3.2 and 5.1 firmware. BIOS newer is 3.24 and I do not have any fixed revolutionary. I can't find any information on the newest firmware, so I decided to update anyway when I came across this link, which says that there is no need to update the firmware on the Qlogic HBA, the pilots themselves?

  http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2013/02/QLogic-HBA-firmware-versions.html

  Can someone explain is more in detail for me and is it true?

  I can confirm it has packaged, too.

  Before installing ESXi 5.1, I've updated firmware to 7.0 manually. Once ESXi is installed, I found firmware has been downgraded to 5.0 that comes with the driver of stock. Then I updated the driver, firmware has been updated to 7.0 again.

• Update Firmware on vSphere MD3000i

  Hello

  We currently have several without MD3000i which must obtain an updated firmware updated (RAID controller and physical disk firmware) for the latest versions (07352261 for the RAID controller).  Those without are connected to the PowerEdge 2950 runs the last environment vSphere.  I did a little research and from what I understand, the key is really:

  -Back up all your data.

  -Stop the vSphere physical servers.

  -Use the crossgeneration utility provided to upgrade the San.

  Does anyone have any experience or advice related to the MD3000i San upgrade? Advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  Gene

  It depends on if you want to continue your virtual machines to be connected, so plan accordingly, you will have a good upgrade without interruption of service, I've done was 15 x 400 GB MD3000i firmware upgrade to version xx 7. but a cheap shared storage of NFS/iSCSI using OpenFiler to promote and use Storage VMotion to move VMS as intermediate destination.  Once the upgrade complete, migrate their return and delete or recycle your Openfiler or keep it low key development servers.  You can move to a local disk if you want to just for temporary, but can not do any VMotion/HA if.  You can use the demo as network SANmelody or left virtual storage to improve performance and reason for portability.  Otherwise, if you drive to power that run them just a quick upgrade with scheduled downtime should be fine.  Good luck.

• Update firmware on Satellite A200-1gh - noise emissions under Linux

  Hello

  I have a serious problem with the sound on Toshiba laptop. Many people have the same problem I have.
  An example:

  ________________________________________
  Hi there everyone
  straight to the point, I got no sound running ' bt3 beta computer laptop - Toshiba satellite a200 - 14 d, HD audio - Realtek ALC862 @ Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M - audio. I tried to fix it with a blender Kmix or alsa, even downloaded the Realtek driver name and installed, but bt3 built in Realtek driver. Still nothing"
  ________________________________________

  My laptop contains this sound card: 00:1 b. 0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801 G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) @ Realtek ALC861-VD. There is a problem somewhere in the firmware of this map or the Linux kernel.

  We use Backtrack 3 who is Slax based Linux distro.
  I've been with many professional talking about Linux, Bud, no one is really sure what is the problem. They said several things to try; one of them is updated firmware. I've never done this before, I'm looking for help.

  Number of exact model of my laptop is Toshiba a200-1GH psaece

  Please help if you can

  > There is a problem somewhere in the firmware of this map or the Linux kernel
  What are you talking about boyfriend? This firmware of the sound card that you hear?
  I think you're confused.

  First of all there is NO firmware for the sound card. Second, the sound card is controlled by sound driver.
  Always is it that Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Windows OS.
  Linux is not supported at this time, and you won't find driver for sound card for Linux.

  If you need a sound driver for this sound chip, you will need to download it from Realtek Web site!

  That s all about your firmware to his mysterious map.

  So I don't know what goes wrong.

  Does anyone else have this problem or knows something that could solve this problem? Because I'm at a total loss.

• BDP-S360 will not play blu ray set to update firmware but not go

• Satellite A45: need to update firmware on DVR K12D drive

  Hello...
  IM new here... Well, I have a toshiba > Satellite A45 Series... which had a DVD Multi Drive (DVR K12D) inside. The problem is that his operation stopped. Sometimes she would write a CD then sometimes it spoils my CD. I used on the media player were Verbatin, Imation, Supermedium, Sony.

  Well the reader works as a very short period and then dies OFF... every time I took it to the repair center...

  The drive has been changed now 4times by toshiba support. I asked for the release of Firmware from 1.05 to 1.15 or higher. They keep answering back telling me to ask pioneer. But it is an OEM obvious by toshiba.

  The player after having been changed stops working without delay of 2 to 3 months max 4 months time and den customer tried upgrading the drive by putting a higher config recorder multi disc double tht is the 8 GB one. The satellite detects that hardware.

  been 2 years now my readers send me problems such as:

  does not read DVD
  doeant read CD RW
  don't write CD/DVDs
  sometimes DVD detects any sometimes they detect its weird.

  The only solution is to update the firmware, but how can I do? I need the update of the firmware. I called toshiba WE also, they talked for two hours and then answer that I have to contact pioneer!

  Please help me!

  Vik!

  Hello

  CD/DVD players support generally not all means.
  As far as I know in the manual you will find a list of the CDs and DVDs is supported and it works properly.

  In addition, it seems that this device was designed for an American market and in this case, you should look at the Toshiba Site us.

  I checked this American site:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

  There, I found several notebooks A45 and the necessary drivers. I also found a driver for DVD rom and ram. It s not a firmware update but maybe it helps.

  However, on Toshiba Europe site, I found several updates firmware for the readers and the different European books but as I said at the beginning you have a US laptop and have to look on the American website. If you don't get an update of the firmaware if you ask the manufacturing of the car.

  In addition, I want to say that you can not be sure that, after updating the firmware of the player will not work correctly. This kind of malfunction looks like a defect of lens calibration and therefore only a replacement disc can solve this problem.
  If the drive has been replaced several times so I guess that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new.
