12. (Optional) Check each VxFlex Ready Node server's log for successful
competition:
a. Connect to the iDRAC KVM console screen.
b. After the update script completes, press Alt+F2 to access a user console,
and then Enter to log in.
c. Check the log contents for errors:
less /bundleapplicationlogs/apply_components.log
For more information, see Troubleshooting the Hardware ISO on page 343 .
d. Press q to exit the log viewer, and then Alt+F1 to access the original console
screen.
13. Reboot the servers and allow the update and configuration jobs to complete.
You can do this remotely using RACADM (see Step 9 on page 339) or locally
from the server console screen.
14. For each server, check the iDRAC job queue to verify that the iDRAC jobs
created by the bootable ISO have completed successfully:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> jobqueue view
Any job failures may require running the bootable ISO again, or further
troubleshooting.
15. For each server, after the hardware updates are finalized, clean up the iDRAC
job queue:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> jobqueue delete --all
16. Continue with OS installation and configuration, VxFlex OS deployment, and
other required tasks.
Update the SATADOM firmware (13G servers only)
The Dell factory should provide the SATADOM boot device with the correct firmware
already loaded. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to update the firmware
loaded on the SATADOM boot device.
About this task
For convenience, SATADOM firmware version S130710K is included on the VxFlex
Ready Node Hardware ISO.
WARNING
The SATADOM firmware update process permanently erases all data
from the SATADOM device. Proceed with caution!
Procedure
1. Connect to the iDRAC Virtual KVM console.
For instructions, see Open the KVM console - R630/R730xd servers on page
330.
