A have a Dell Poweredge 1800 server that is running Red Hat Linux and a proprietary software. The server came from the proprietary software company, and they would prefer no software like Open Manage be installed on it. The server has a flashing amber warning on it, and I have booted using a Dell Diagnostic disk to see if I can determine the issue. It appears that the issue is memory related but the messages were from a week ago.

The diagnostics disk does not give me the ability to clear the hardware logs. There is no DRAC in this system.
Is there a bootable disk that will help me clear the log entries?

Sep 29, 2014 - Seems the solution for this is a “OMSA Live CD” which I've never heard of until today. This is the Dell Customized ESXi v5.5 Build #1331820 ISO. 1) Download the latest OMSA VIB – v7.4 for ESXi v5.5.

What's the best linux distribution to put on a USB key to install the dell BIOS updates? I tried fedora but it was missing some dependencies and didn't work. Any instructions or step-by-step information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

• Hi, The new server we bought does not have a CD/DVD drive installed. How can I set the OpenManage System Management Tools (the media supplied with the unit) to work from a bootable usbstick?
• Attached to this article is omsaGuide which provides a range of hardware diagnostic tools you can run on the appliance. Download and burn the live CD iso from the link below. After the live CD is made, use the guide attached to this article to run DSET.

Why not use the Dell SUU to update the BIOS?

the SUU has been mentioned, but I usually use the OMSA live CD, found at http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/

I use Ubuntu for my Dell Mini, and updated the BIOS using that computer. I also have used Live USB versions of Ubuntu before. While I haven't updated the BIOS via Live USB, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Better yet, why not rebuild a new live of Fedora (if that's what you're comfortable with) with the missing dependencies? Here's a start: Fedora: How to create and use Live USB

OK, this makes no sense for more then one reason..

1. If you need to boot from something to do a bios update, the fastest way would be to use the dos bootdisk. Dell usually offers most of their updates in multiple formats. One of those formats is usually a bootdisk creator in EXE format. I actually just rip the image out, and boot directly from GRUB w/ memdisk.

2. If you ran windows, i'd hope you wouldn't ask this question. So unless you run something strange/rare like haikuOS or BSD, you should look into just using the Linux .bin updater from inside your OS. assuming you already have an active Linux OS, otherwise see step 1.

To use those dell .bin updates, you need to get these dependencies.If running x86 RHEL/CentOS/Fedora..

yum install libxml2 libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-33

If running x86_64 RHEL/CentOS/Fedora..

yum install libxml2.i386 libstdc++.i386 compat-libstdc++-33.i386

If you have something else going on, post more info. Otherwise I hope I could help.
