What’s New in This Release
DUP supports Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)
solid-state drives (SSDs).
Dependency
DUP supports the following dependencies:
Soft Dependency — Dependency(s) that needs to be applied in order to use certain new features
coming with the update. For example, when the features of BIOS 1.7 are enabled only when iDRAC is
at 2.3 then the dependency on iDRAC version is a soft dependency and the BIOS update would be
applied but the specific features would not be available till iDRAC is atleast 2.3.
Hard Dependency — Dependency(s) that must be applied in order to apply the correct update. For
example, the update for upgrading BIOS to 1.7 might require iDRAC version to be atleast 2.0. Then
user need to update iDRAC version to 2.0 before updating BIOS 1.7 .
NOTE: In certain scenarios, for a complete update or upgrade, you have to install two and more
DUPs. In such scenarios, sometimes you have to restart the system to complete the update of
previously installed DUPs.
