I have an iDRAC v6 with firmware v1.9 that I need to update. It resides on a dell r610 VMware host.
The browser based update fails (this is a known problem according to Dell).
I can putty to the iDRAC and have run
racadm fwupdate -u -g -d "C:\Sources\Dell\iDRAC 6\ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_WN32_2.90_A00.exe"
where the path is a path on the Windows machine from which I am accessing the iDRAC. This fails as well. All other racadm commands I have tried work fine, except the update firmware command.
Can you provide an example of the exact syntax needed to upgrade v6 iDRAC firmware from a remote windows desktop location.
