idrac "http server settings" for automatic firmware updates
i cant find any docs on this.. I am trying to use the firmware auto update feature.
I dont see how to set up this
(see attached)
when I put in the webserver.. it tries and then fails.. but what am I supposed to put in the document root? i tried putting in firmimg.d7 and nothing happens..
the only docs I found are below.. but why does it only explain some of it and then direct me to
"see the iDRAC Online Help" I dont know what that means..
does anyone have a working example of the idrac getting FW from a web server?
Updating device firmware using HTTP
You can directly connect to the HTTP site from iDRAC to perform the firmware updates. You can use the Windows-based update packages (DUPs) and a catalog file available on the HTTP site instead of creating custom repositories.
Before performing an update using the repository, make sure that:
- Lifecycle Controller is enabled.
- You have Server Control privilege to update firmware for devices other than iDRAC.
To update device firmware using HTTP:
- In the iDRAC web interface, go to Overview > iDRAC Settings > Update and Rollback . The Firmware Update page is displayed.
- On the Update tab, select HTTP as the File Location.
- In the HTTP Server Settings section, enter the HTTP details. For information about the fields, see the iDRAC Online Help.

Hi,
There is a white paper published to explain various firmware update methods on iDRAC. This one should be of help to you, let us know if it helps:

ok..
it looks like I have to setup a DSU ?? so I have a catalog/repo?
im trying to install DSU now on a VM..
can I build a catalog with that and then point the iDRAC to it via the http option under firmware update?
