UPDATING DELL SERVERS

Image
Recently, I was working on a vSphere 4.1 upgrade to vSphere 5.5 and of course, first thing first; I had to update all the physical servers to the latest versions of BIOS, firmware, drivers… At a first glance, this seems an easy procedure. I’m thinking to use the Dell iDrac console to update most of the stuff but I soon realized that I wasn’t able to update NIC firmware and BIOS through the iDrac. When you go to the Dell Support web site to download the drivers for a specific model of server, you’ll realize that Dell is offering at least 4-5 different troubleshooting and updater utilities… Some of them are as big as 7.5GB ISO files!

warning: Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead - Chef Development Kit Update

Today, I needed to do some tests with a newer version of the Chef Client and test my cookbooks. To version 14.12.9-1 to be precise. I also upgraded my ChefDK on my workstation to the 4.2.0 version. I believe that upgrades Ruby version as well and now I have ruby version 2.6.3p62 Right after the upgrade, I tried with a basic knife node list command to see if I needed to reboot or anything was broke... Everything seems to be working fine, except I get this annoying "warning" message. As it's just a warning, I don't really care about it as it just seems to annonce something that is deprecated... Problem; You receive "warning: Win32API is deprecated after Ruby 1.9.1; use fiddle directly instead" warning when using ruby or chef knife commands. Solution; You need to comment out that warning message in Ruby lib scripts.
