In automated environments (e.g., Ansible playbooks, Terraform, or custom Python scripts using Redfish), implement a to ensure only one firmware operation runs against a given iDRAC at any time. For example:
If the command line method fails or you prefer a graphical user interface, resetting the iDRAC management engine forces a reload of the firmware downloader architecture without shutting down the host server's operating system.

: The iDRAC firmware installer may have left a RAM drive on the host OS from a prior upgrade that needs clearing. Best Practices to Resolve SUP0108
Query the deployment status tables (typically containing metadata about packages or domains). In automated environments (e
By following the solutions above—starting with clearing the RefreshNow flag and escalating to a full SUP reinstall—you can resolve the error in under 15 minutes. More importantly, by respecting the boundary between WSUS (the engine) and ConfigMgr (the manager), you will rarely see this error again.
If an Administrator opens the WSUS console directly on the SUP server and clicks "Synchronize Now," WSUS will start a sync. ConfigMgr will then attempt its own sync and throw SUP0108. Best Practices to Resolve SUP0108 Query the deployment

: During operating system-based updates, the iDRAC installer temporarily mounts a virtual RAM drive onto the host OS to extract firmware binaries. If this RAM drive isn't unmounted properly, future upgrade paths remain blocked. Best Methods to Fix the SUP0108 Error 1.
