• Dell Update Packages do not require new refreshes of existing DUPs to be reinstalled since the firmware or driver payload does not change when the DUP is refreshed. A new DUP is available if changes have been made to the firmware or driver payload. • If the console terminal displays USB connection status messages, ignore them as they do not affect the system. • On all versions of the ESX, the following the USB connection error messages are generated. These messages can be ignored.
For other USC access related DUPs (PSU, NIC, SAS, PERC, BackPlane), the update is successful but the following error message may be displayed: "… mount: block device /dev/secmasupd-SECUPD is write-protected … /bin/cp: cannot create regular file …" • 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.
• • • BIOS updates require system services to be enabled. If the operating system is installed from Operating System Deployment, select Reboot and Exit in the USC environment before booting to the operating system. This closes the USC session which is held for 18 hours. If you do not want to enter the USC and select Reboot and Exit, but want to execute the DUPs within 18 hours, unplug the power supply of the system, wait for 10 seconds, and then power on the system. BIOS DUP will use LC to update BIOS.
• -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 web pack to perform this update. Power Supply Unit firmware • Power Supply Unit firmware updates can be performed only on Life Cycle Controller enabled systems.
