Unable tp update Bios via redfish simpleUpdate pull

[asizalt]

Hi.
On some old servers i can't use repository update.
I am trying to use simple update pull with the fallowing :
https://<server ip>/redfish/v1/UpdateService/Actions/UpdateService.SimpleUpdate

and with the following payload:

{
    "ImageURI": "https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER12109198M/1/BIOS_C94VM_WN64_2.22.2.EXE",
    "TransferProtocol": "HTTPS"
} 

The job starts (can see from idreac) but fails.

Importnet to note that when I use push config and upload the image to the inventory it works.

What am I missing ?

Hi @asizalt

downloads.dell.com should only be used for iDRAC repository update feature not running single firmware update. If running single firmware update using ImageURI you can leverage a webserver like Apache or IIS.

Are you able to access downloads.dell.com directly? I tried using a browser and the page always redirects to Dell support site.

Thanks
