The iDRAC can be updated using the DOS utility when DOS is booted using PXE. However, the new FW image has to be on a local media on the server for this to work properly. Local media can be a RAMDISK, HD or USB key on the server. Alternatively, the update of iDRACs on multiple servers has to be sequenced; that is, done one server after the other, with the 1st completing update and the 2nd starting update and so on to 3rd after 2nd is done, 4th after 3rd is done.

To use iVMCLI from within a system running Windows Vista The user has to start up the 'cmd' with 'Run as Administrator'. (iVMCLI requires the user has 'administrator' privileges when it is used.) NOTE The user can log in as a non-admin user, but when using iVMCLI, the user has to start 'cmd' with 'Run as Administrator' thereby giving them admin privileges to enable using iVMCLI.
