To automate this action, iDRAC Configuration Utility (for iDRAC6) or the iDRAC Settings Utility (for iDRAC7) provides an option that can be accessed through the boot console: * For iDRAC6 servers, on the boot console, when prompted with the message Press for Remote Access Setup within 5 sec., press . Then, on the setup screen, enable Collect System Inventory on Restart. * For iDRAC7 servers, on the boot console, select F2 for System Setup. On the setup screen, select iDRAC Settings, and then select System Services (USC). On the setup screen, enable Collect System Inventory on Restart. - Options to perform the various Lifecycle Controller operations such as Update, Rollback, Reinstall, and Job Deletion are available. Only one type of operation can be performed at a time. Components and devices that are not supported may be listed as part of the inventory, but do not permit Lifecycle Controller operations. The following table displays the component and devices information on the server: Table 8. : Component and Devices Information Field Description Slot Displays the slot occupied by the server in the chassis. Slot numbers are sequential IDs, from 1 to 16 (for the 16 available slots in the chassis), that help to identify the location of the server in the chassis. When there are less than 16 servers occupying slots, only those slots populated by servers are displayed. Name Displays the name of the server in each slot. Model Displays the model of the server. Component/Device Displays a description of the component or device on the server. If the column width is too narrow the mouse-over tool provides a view of the description. Current Version Displays the current version of component or device on the server. Rollback Version Displays the rollback version of component or device on the server. Job Status Displays the job status of any operations that are scheduled on the server. The job status is continuously updated dynamically. If a job completion with state completed is detected, then the firmware versions for the components and devices on that server are automatically refreshed in case there has been a change of firmware version on any of the components or devices. An information icon is also presented adjacent to the current state, which provides additional information of the current job status. This information can be viewed by clicking or hovering over the icon. Update Selects the component or device for firmware update on the server. Viewing Firmware Inventory Using RACADM To view Firmware Inventory using RACADM, use the getversion command: racadm getversion -l [-m ] [-f ] For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC available at dell.com/ support/manuals.
