Good morning FreeNAS gurus. Some time ago I bought a pair of FreeNAS minis and deployed one with no problem. The 2nd one has been on my office floor until recently when I started it up and got the message:
FreeNAS Mini Critical IPMI Firmware Update - Your Mini has an available IPMI firmware update, please click here (https://support.ixsystems.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/287)
I have tried updating the firmware by following the above link when I am logged into my FreeNAS mini from my desktop PC (AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor) and later on I tried using my older i7 Lenovo laptop. Both PCs are using Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I have tried using IE 11 on both PCs and I have tried Chrome version 67.X.XXX on both PCs and I always get stuck on page 5 where it says Uploading Firmware Image. I never ever get any error messages and there are no popup windows hiding behind the main window so I am not sure where to go from here?
Is there a approved procedure whereby I could download the firmware and put it on a USB flash drive and install if from there?
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated & thanks to all freeNAS users.
P.S. I have two valid IP addresses on the FreeNAS mini and I communicate on both the management IP address and the IPMI IP address so I doubt it is a communication error?
