Update iDRAC on mw2260.codfw.wmnet
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

When attempting to run the sre.hosts.rename cookbook on mw2260, it appears that the current iDRAC version on that host (2.50.50.50) is too old.

Would it be possible to update iDRAC to a more recent version? (at least version 4 [0], though I see there may be upper bounds on supported version in [1])

The host is currently depooled and cordoned.

Thank you!

@Scott_French thank you for opening this task. This server is 6 years passed the 5 years limit. The process of updating the idrac from 2 to 4 is very painful may i ask why we are stay keeping this server in production.
