For more information on installing SUU, see the "Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide." Note: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges can perform updates with SUU.

applies the latest update to all instances of all devices. For example, if your system is configured with three controllers configured with firmware/driver versions 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, and the repository version is 1.4, SUU applies version 1.4 to all instances of all devices. (136620) * When you run SUU using the "-p" option, SUU reports the current instance log location ("suu -p") instead of the SUU instance log location ("suu -u") that is performing the update.
PAGE 6
Ensure that you have sufficient space in the var partition or tmp folder and restart SUU to start the system inventory. (66118) * In some cases where the latest Intel NIC driver (Intel(R) PRO PCIE Gigabit Family of Adapters 9.5, base driver version 9.6.31.0) is installed as part of Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU) install, SUU may not be able to inventory the respective NIC. This may happen because SBUU would not have installed the umbrella software.
