Known Issues in This Release

5236662

Description: The UFM appliance upgrade does not complete successfully. The failure occurs at the BIOS upgrade step because iDRAC System Lockdown Mode is enabled.

Workaround: Perform the following:

1. Disable the iDRAC System Lockdown Mode:

   curl -sk -u "root:<idrac password>" -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Attributes":{"Lockdown.1.SystemLockdown":"Disabled"}}' "https://169.254.1.1/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellAttributes/iDRAC.Embedded.1" | python3 -c "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['@Message.ExtendedInfo'][0]['Message'])"
   

2. Rerun the upgrade

   ./ufm-os-upgrade.sh --yes --reboot
   

   Refer to UFM Enterprise Appliance Upgrade for more information.

3. Once completed, re-enable the iDRAC System Lockdown Mode:

   curl -sk -u "root:<idrac password>" -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Attributes":{"Lockdown.1.SystemLockdown":"Enabled"}}' "https://169.254.1.1/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellAttributes/iDRAC.Embedded.1" | python3 -c "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['@Message.ExtendedInfo'][0]['Message'])"
   

To verify the iDRAC System Lockdown Mode is applied, run:

curl -sk -u "root:<idrac password>" "https://169.254.1.1/redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellAttributes/iDRAC.Embedded.1" | python3 -c "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('Attributes', {}).get('Lockdown.1.SystemLockdown'))"

If the iDRAC password is not available, use the alternative procedure below. Comment out the BIOS upgrade command in ufm-os-upgrade.sh, then re-run the upgrade as listed above (step2):

Bash

sed -i 's|^\([[:space:]]*\)/var/ufm-bios/BIOS_GPMNW_LN64_2.8.2.BIN -q|\1# /var/ufm-bios/BIOS_GPMNW_LN64_2.8.2.BIN -q|' dev_internals/ufm-os-upgrade.sh

Note that in this scenario the BIOS upgrade is skipped.
