Update out-of-box drivers

Update out-of-box drivers

  • For certain system components, you might have to update the driver to the latest Dell Technologies supported version.

    Note: This section is optional if you are using OpenManage Integration with Windows Admin Center to update the nodes.

    1. Depending on the platform, many devices may not automatically be recognized with in-box drivers. Install the proper Intel or AMD chipset drivers.
    2. Run the following PowerShell command to retrieve a list of all driver versions that are installed on the local system: 
      Get-PnpDevice | Select-Object Name, @{l='DriverVersion';e={(Get-PnpDeviceProperty -
      InstanceId $_.InstanceId -KeyName 'DEVPKEY_Device_DriverVersion').Data}} -Unique |
      Where-Object {($_.Name -like "*HBA*") -or ($_.Name -like "*mellanox*") -or ($_.Name
      -like "*Qlogic*") -or ($_.Name -like "*X710*") -or
      ($_.Name -like "*Broadcom*")  -or
      ($_.Name -like "*marvell*")  -or
      ($_.Name -like "*E810*")  }
    3. Update the out-of-box drivers to the required versions, if necessary.
      For the latest Dell Technologies supported versions of system components, see the Support Matrix for Microsoft HCI Solutions.
      Download the driver installers from https://www.dell.com/support or by using the Dell Azure Stack HCI Solution Catalog.
    4. Attach a folder containing the driver DUP files to the system as a virtual media image:
      1. In the iDRAC virtual console menu, click Virtual Media.
      2. In the Create Image from Folder window, click Create Image.
      3. Click Browse, select the folder where the driver DUP files are stored, and, if required, change the name of the image.
      4. Click Create Image.
      5. Click Finish.
      6. From the Virtual Media menu, select Connect Virtual Media.
      7. Select Map Removable Disk, click Browse, and select the image that you created.
      8. Click Map Device.
      After the image is mapped, it appears as a drive in the host operating system.
    5. Go to the driver DUP files and run them to install the updated out-of-box drivers.
