This prevents the execution of any wfile on that drive, including Dell Update Packages. If you are attempting to run a Dell Update Package from a USB flash drive under Linux, and are experiencing problems, remount the drive without the "-noexec" option, or copy the Dell Update Package to a drive mounted without the "-noexec" option.
When you try to execute DUPs on a 64-bit RHEL operating system, it fails to execute since DUP is a 32-bit application. To work around this issue, manually install the following RPMs: glibc.i686 compat-libstdc++.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib.i686 libxml2.i686 While executing some DUP's on 11G servers and When virtual media is in attached mode, a window with name SECUPD will popup and close automatically. Due to this there will be no functionality impact on DUP.
BIOS A BIOS update requires enough free physical memory to load the entire BIOS image into the physical memory. If there is insufficient free physical memory available on the system to load the BIOS image, the Dell Update Package for BIOS may fail. In this instance, you may attempt running the Dell Update Package immediately after reboot or after adding more memory. If this does not resolve the issue, update the BIOS using the Diskette method.
All PERC firmware and all SAS firmware Do not run storage controller update packages if the controller is in use by other applications. The firmware upgrade may fail if any of the RAID controllers in the system are performing an I/O background task (consistency check, background initialization, rebuild, or reconstruction). Allow the background task to complete before attempting to upgrade the firmware. "Patrol Read" tasks will not affect a firmware upgrade.
