[CentOS] Dell firmware repository - out of date firmware?
Hi All. I am using dell firmware repository (http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/OMSA). To update all firmware on my Dell PowerEdge R310 I use: yum install $(bootstrap_firmware) update_firmware --yes and perform reboot. Then the firmware for my PERC H200 RAID controller is "up to date" with repository. When I make: /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport storage controller I get: ... Firmware Version : 07.03.05.00 ... Driver Version : 05.101.00.02 Minimum Required Driver Version : 07.00.01.00-1 ... So my driver is actually out of date. On page: https://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/poweredge-r310?driverId=NX9T4&osCode=WS8R2&fileId=3126023528 I see that SAS-RAID_Firmware_NX9T4_LN32_07.03.05.00_A08.BIN for RHEL is available. It has a higher driver version than required 07.00.01.00-1 so a manual download and install should be ok in this case. Is the dell hardware repo serving old versions of firmware/drivers? Should I in my case perform a manual update process? Best regards, Rafal Radecki.

This is saying that the _driver_ is out of date, not the firmware of the RAID card. Post your kernel version. On 02/06/2013 03:50 AM, Rafa?
