Hi There,
I have been experiencing problems with my PowerEdge T320 IDRAC Controller. It appears to be a known issue introduced with Firmware version 1.50.50, which is the one shipped with my machine.
Basically the device reports that all the user sessions are in use. (RAC0218). I'm running Windows 2008 Server R2.
To solve this problem I located the update version of the IDRAC firmware for my system. 1.57.57
Downloaded the windows EXE file and ran it.
The release notes say a reboot is not required.
At the end of the install I received a message in a dialog box.
" Device iDRAC7, Application: iDRAC7 Failed to access Virtual USB Device"
Then the following message in the firmware upgrade installer informational window.
"This message can be safely ignored" with lots of stuff about R2 IPMI drivers.
My problem is that the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator still reports the old firmware version number.
I reset the iDRAC from the C: prompt using "racadm racreset soft" which reported success.
This didn't make any difference.
I have cleared out my browsers cache as well.
Any ideas how I can tell if my firmware has actually been upgraded?
