I am trying to revive an old IBM x3650 M2 server, but am running into trouble with IMM/IPMI related to the FW being almost as old as the server itself. Server is from 2010, firmware is from '09 (UEFI) and '11 (IMM/DSA) and is running ESXi.

I checked the official supportsite (that has no firmware at all for the server) and did my best Google-fu, but have not found any useable FW download. The problem I'm having (IMM changes "Failed in the backend") is "common" and others have resolved this same issue with a firmware update, so that's my focus.

There might be other ways to find/update FW that I haven't thought of, and any ideas are more than welcome.

On IBM site there are a lot more fresh firmware/updates. You can visit this site and select what you want to update.

IMM is from 2016

UEFI is from 2018

    Thank you for the excellent suggestion. It looks like it has what I'm looking for (weird that it was so hard for me to find). But after posting I started to poke at XClarity, specifically the "Lenovo XClarity Essentials Bootable Media Creator" which also does the trick (and I'm kicking myself for not taking that extra step before posting). – Incitu_MJ Nov 22 '22 at 09:21
