Symptoms
Hardware deployment wizard fails at "deploy" stage with the error attached in the screenshot. When trying to upload the required firmware version the deployment fails. The host is unable to download the firmware package from the AMS server.iDRAC lifecycle log:2018-04-11 02:33:23 RED006 Unable to download Update Package.2018-04-11 02:33:23 SYS261 Unable to transfer the file, resources/scaleio_repository/fw/common/H730/SAS-RAID_Firmware_C58TW_WN64_25.5.3.0005_A11.EXE, because initial network connection to the remote host server is not successfully started.2018-04-11 02:30:00 RED006 Unable to download Update Package.2018-04-11 02:30:00 SYS261 Unable to transfer the file, resources/scaleio_repository/fw/gen13/BIOS/BIOS_Y4Y95_WN64_2.5.5.EXE, because initial network connection to the remote host server is not successfully started.
Cause
Port 80 required by HTTP was closed by the firewall.
Resolution
Workaround:Manually install each individual package that was downrev using iDRAC web interface.Uploading the firmware packages directly to iDRAC allowed the deployment to continue.http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln292363/poweredge-server-updating-firmware-through-the-idrac?lang=en#idrac78Fix:After rechecking port requirements we discovered that port 80 (HTTP) needs to be open in the firewall.The driver uploads are performed using HTTP. Upon opening the port, the deployment was retried and finished successfully.
