- DRAC Virtual Flash is not in use either by the operating system
or by any other application
* The Linux DUP in this release may not work on RHEL 5. It works on
earlier versions of RHEL. In cases where it does not work, use the

Power Supply Unit firmware
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Power Supply Unit firmware updates can be performed only on Life
Cycle Controller enabled systems.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
* Linux systems running one or more applications that interact with
SCSI devices in certain ways are known to cause a kernel panic
situation. Therefore, it is recommended that you stop Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator and Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management Service before running
storage controller firmware update packages.
To stop the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator service,
run "omconfig system webserver action=stop"
To start the Server Administrator service,
run "omconfig system webserver action=start"
To stop the Server Administrator Storage Management Service,
run "/etc/init.d/dataeng stop"
To start the Server Administrator Storage Management Service,
run "/etc/init.d/dataeng start"

PERC 4 firmware
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Firmware updates require a reboot to take effect.
