I pushed out an iDRAC6 update from 1.92 to 1.95 and it unexpectedly rebooted the server and we were down for a good 10-15 minutes. When I brought up the remote console it was sitting at a BIOS looking screen with the update progress for the update, meanwhile OME said it failed. It rebooted the system at least twice before the update was complete.
Is this expected behavior? Why would a firmware update for the DRAC cause the system to reboot? The DRAC firmware does show 1.95 so obviously that piece worked, but I wouldn't think it would need to reboot the system.
