Document buggy r650 idrac version #286

Closed akrzos closed 1 year ago

akrzos commented 2 years ago

Virtual media can not be mounted on:

iDRAC Firmware Version | 5.10.10.00

It works fine with this version:

iDRAC Firmware Version | 5.10.10.05

You can check idrac versions using racadm:

# sshpass -p "xxxxxx" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no quads@mgmt-xxxxxxx.com "racadm get iDRAC.Info"
[Key=iDRAC.Embedded.1#Info.1]
#Build=26

#Version=5.10.10.00

It was later identified that the servers in question actually lacked DNS in their BMC configuration. This prevents any virtual media that requires domain resolution from working. We should probably actually document this too so less time is spent when encountering this.
