Re: DSU upgrade issue BIOS/iDRAC

      Hi Santosh,
thank you for having the team to look into this issue.

The command

racadm racreset

does not work. It fails with error message:

The current version of Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)
that do not support the execution of RACADM commands.

Regards,
    - Henrik
