You might see this alert: EVT-FIRMWARE-00001: Current firmware version is not certified for DDOS version This KB is applicable to newer DD models running on PowerEdge hardware. For these models: DD6400, DD6410, DD6900, DD9400, DD9410, DD9900, DD9910
The iDRAC module is responsible for updating firmware during a DDOS upgrade. The DDOS pushes jobs to the iDRAC to update the firmware on hardware components. Sometimes this iDRAC module gets stopped responding or stuck in a bad state. This prevents the firmware from being updated during bootup of the DD.
This issue is often resolved by simply clearing the iDRAC job queue and restarting the iDRAC module and then restarting the DD appliance. Connect with ssh to the iDRAC console: ssh root@<Add iDrac IP Address> Password: Input the iDRAC password This takes you to the racadm shell racadm>> Now run these commands to clear the job queue and hard reset the iDRAC module (this does not reboot the appliance) racadm jobqueue delete --all racadm jobqueue delete -i JID_CLEARALL_FORCE racadm racresetcfg -f After the iDRAC comes back online, connect to the DD and reboot: reboot You can watch the boot sequence from the iDRAC virtual console. You should see a part of the boot where it checks firmware and pushes out any updates. This populates jobs in the iDRAC job queue and automatically reboot the system so iDRAC can push the firmware out. Once the system comes back online, you should see any firmware alerts cleared. You can verify that the firmware is properly updated with this command: system firmware show all If you still see some firmware that is out of date, you should repeat this process from the beginning. For some reason, we often have to reset the iDRAC and clear the job queue multiple times to get all firmware components to update.
