Dell provides its own live cd of sorts that already will do this for you. I think it is called the DSUU - Dell Server Update Utility - give that a google and it should do what you want.

Subject: Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] update through live iso?

Apologies for the spam, just wondering again if anyone has any thoughts on using a centos/rhel live image to perform firmware updates when either the current OS or ultimate OS to be deployed does not out of the box support yum repos.

Hello Dell and all, hope all is going well
Wanted to bounce yet another of my incessant questions off of you

If I used a live rhel/centos image and installed dsu and updated the underlying hardware thru the liveiso, is that acceptable? Nothing untoward should happen?
I already have a cent 6u6 liveimage that runs dsu. I can run dsu -i and receive proper output. I have not run dsu -n yet b/c need hardware to test, but should that be okay?
The case is that the final OS may be something like ubuntu
thanks and regards
