Hey man, it worked to update from version 30.30.30 to 86.86.86, there were 18 updates, I took it one step at a time, thank you very much!!

Wow very useful. I didn't realize you had to upgrade in order.

You don't need to update the iDRAC in batches. We have updated from 2.30 to 2.85 just by uploading the firmimg.d7 file directly to the server and updating. Download the Dell exe's and upack them with 7Zip. Instead the folder will be a payload folder. That's where the d7 file will be. The process is the same for iDRAC 9.

You don't need to update in batches. Just download the latest firmware from Dell and unpack the exe with 7Zip. A payload folder will be created with the firmware will be contained inside. Log into the iDRAC controller and go to either Update and Rollback on iDRAC 8 or Maintenance/System Update on iDRAC 9. This is where you can upload the d7 or d9 file and perform the update. We've updated from 2.30 to 2.85 that way without a sweat.

just a correction, for iDRAC9 - you dont need to do incremental update, I have updated my iDRAC9 straight from 3.15.17.15 to 7.00.00.174 without any issues

Good video with complete information. Thank you.

Very good video. I have a VMware and the virtual servers are Windows. Should the exe files work with my server, even if I have a VMware?

I recently bought R730 and as you said, this situation makes me so annoying

Thank you very much, DIYGEEKTEXAS. Could you please provide more detail on how to upgrade the .bin file until in the terminal( CentOS7) if you have a chance. Thanks
