Is HTTPs supported for updating firmware using SimpleUpdate on iDRAC 9? #172

Closed ylvmw closed 3 years ago

ylvmw commented 3 years ago

I just have a question about is HTTPs supported for updating firmware using SimpleUpdate? I know HTTP is supported, either with the doc or trying the API, but failed with HTTPs. And I also tried the "https:///redfish/v1/UpdateService" API, it returns "TransferProtocol@Redfish.AllowableValues": [ "HTTP" ], seems only HTTP supported.

Actually we'd like to put the firmwares to be installed on the HTTPs servers for security.

So I want to double confirm with you if the HTTPs supported or not. Thanks!

Hi @ylvmw

Current latest shipping iDRAC, only HTTP is supported but coming in iDRAC 5.00.00 which is scheduled to be released this June, HTTPS/NFS/CIFS/TFTP support has been added to TransferProtocol.

If you need to leverage HTTPS support now, use OEM action DellSoftwareInstallationService.InstallFromURI.

Thanks

Thank you so much @texroemer. Could the Dell R740 be upgraded to iDRAC 5.00.00?

@ylvmw

Yes it will be supported on R740 platform. Sorry I forgot to mention 5.00.00 will be iDRAC9 release.

Thanks
