Comments on: Firmware Updates with Dell OpenManage Essentials (OME) http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=5900 My Die-Cast Collection & Interests Thu, 08 Jan 2026 15:35:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Kesmo http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=5900&cpage=1#comment-1666 Kesmo Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:37:03 +0000 http://www.modelcar.hk/?p=5900#comment-1666 Interestingly when I run the SUU from disk on a machine I get 5 update requirements, and yet OM reports only 4. Also my two test servers are shown as in critical condition, but I don't know why apart from possibly the age old errors in the machine log which I can't acknowledge or remove. Hardly impressive.

If Dell can update the catalog.xml with the latest firmware release, then it would be perfect, still, no complain this time at all. Oh...just a personal advice, I tend to Exclude hard disk if there is no problem as I consider hard disk firmware update is quite risky. I’m glad you enjoy it just like me.

I just install the OME on a old PE2850, and then perform a full scan for my Hong Kong office. The OME then found that there is a new firmware for a 2950 Seagate SAS hard drives, Broadcom on broad LAN card, PERC 6/i controller , also an external SCSI-160 LTO-3 tape drive attached on that old PE2850. The update perform automatically. It is a great tool!
