I spotted this in the alerts section of the iDRAC on the Poweredge R720.
Guess winter is too cold for the server.
The Poweredge R430 didn't have any complaints, though. Probably because it wasn't running during that time.
Anyway, I still need to figure out a way to update the two servers via iDRAC. I run Proxmox on them, so the usual tools from Dell, which are for Windows Server and RedHat, don't work. Trying to update via FTP from iDRAC does not work too since the Dell FTP servers are no longer online, and the current update servers use HTTPS, which is not supported on older versions of iDRAC (until you upgrade them, which is the dilemma here).
The virtual console also uses Java Webstart... from Java 8. Sigh. Maybe someone has a suggestion for a BMC/IPMI solution that is not based on iDRAC (Dell) or iLO (HPE)...
