Upgrading the DR Series System Software

Upgrading the DR Series System Software

To upgrade the DR Series system software, complete the following:

NOTE: The DR Series system only supports the copying of upgrade images and diagnostics files to and from the system using WinSCP. The DR Series system does not support the copying or deleting of any other file types using WinSCP. To use WinSCP to copy DR Series software upgrade and diagnostics log files, ensure that the File Protocol mode is set to SCP (Secure Copy) mode.
 
NOTE: You can use other SCP tools with the DR Series system, but you cannot use these other SCP tools to copy other types of files to or from the DR Series system.
1.
Using the browser, go to support.dell.com, navigate to your DR Series product page, and enter your service tag.
2.
Click Get Drivers, then View All Drivers.
The Drivers & Downloads page displays a listing of downloadable firmware, utilities, applications, and drivers for the DR Series system.
3.
Locate the IDM section of the Drivers & Downloads page, which includes the Dell-Utility (DR Series Upgrade File) in the format, DR-UM-x.x.x.x-xxxxx.tar.gz, and showing its release date and version.
4.
Click Download File, click For Single File Download via Browser, and click Download Now.
The File Download dialog is displayed.
5.
Click Save to download the latest system software upgrade file to the DR Series system that is running the browser session started by the DR Series administrator.
6.
Using the DR Series system GUI, select Support, and click the Software Upgrade link (or select Support > Software Upgrade).
The Software Upgrade page is displayed.
7.
Type the path of the software upgrade file in the Select the upgrade file from local disk (or click Browse..., and navigate to the location where you downloaded the system software upgrade file).
8.
Select the software upgrade file, and click Open.
9.
Click Start Upgrade.

When you initiate a DR Series system software upgrade, the navigation panel displays only the Support page and the Software Upgrade option.

The administrator that initiated the software upgrade (known as the initiator administrator) sees a System Information pane that displays an alert and upgrade status, and the Current Version and Upgrade History versions of the DR Series system software listed in the Software Info pane.

All other administrators that may be logged into DR Series system (excluding the initiator administrator), only.

There are only three possible outcomes during a DR Series system software upgrade operation:

◦
Upgrade has completed successfully—no reboot is required.
◦
Upgrade has completed successfully—but a reboot is required (click Reboot in the Software Upgrade page).
◦
Upgrade has failed.
 
NOTE: If the DR Series system software upgrade operation fails, you can reboot the system and attempt another software upgrade operation using the DR Series system GUI. If this is unsuccessful, you can use the DR Series system CLI system --show command to view the current System State status. DR Series system software upgrades can also be performed using the DR Series system CLI. For details, see the Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide at dell.com/support/manuals/. If both the DR Series system GUI and CLI attempts are unsuccessful, contact Dell Support for assistance.

SSL Page and Options

Resetting the SSL Certificate
Generating a CSR

On the SSL page you can install a new SLL certificate. For additional security, the SSL Certificate feature for the DR Series system enables you to replace the self-signed, factory-installed Dell certificate with another certificate, for example, with one that is signed by a third-party CA. Once you have obtained your signed certificate, you can install it on the SSL page. Only one certificate can be installed on a DR Series system at any given point in time.

Installing an SSL Certificate

To install an SSL certificate, complete the following steps:

Select Support → SSL Certificate in the navigation panel.
The SSL Certificate page is displayed.
2.
Click Browse to locate and select the SSL certificate on your system that you want to install.
 
NOTE: Only .pem formatted SSL certificates are supported.
3.
On the SSL Certificate page, click Install Certificate.
The Install SSL Certificate dialog box is displayed.
4.
In the Install SSL Certificate dialog box, click Continue.
Unless corrupted or expired, certificates files of .pem format type with less than 2048-bit encryption should successfully verify.
5.
In the certificate Validation dialog box, click Continue.
In the event you see the Certificate Verification Failed dialog box, clicking on “Continue” here will generate a connection reset in the browser. You will still be allowed to continue with certificate installation. Upon successful installation of a certificate, an HTTP server restart is performed, and the browser will move to a connection reset state.
 
NOTE: If your browser cannot connect to a DR Series system after a certificate installation, you may need to reset the certificate from the command line interface (CLI) using “maintenance --configuration -- reset_web_certificate”. Refer to the Dell DR Series Command Line Reference Guide for more information.
