cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", install the compatibility libraries from your Linux distribution. To install the compatibility libraries, use the following command: "rpm -ivh compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm" SLES 10 and SLES 11 (all service packs) uses "libstdc++-33-32bit-3.3.3-11.9.x86_64.rpm" * If Update Packages stop abruptly due to a power outage or abnormal termination, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the lock file. 2.
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. * 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.

where cfgLCDriveEnable is an option implemented in iDRAC 1.5 with a default of 0 (disabled) NOTE: This command enables LCDrive from the iDRAC console or the OS. If the LCDrive is not enabled, DUPs may not work. After the DUP update is complete, to ensure the LCDrive is invisible, run the following command: racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgLCDriveEnable 0 * When you run USC-related DUPs with Citrix Xenserver 5.6.0-x, you need to set the virtual media in iDRAC to Detach.
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------* Lifecycle controller updates require system services to be enabled. * For the first time, before you attempt to run Driver Package Diagnostics DUPs, execute the USC DUP. * Before running DUPs, ensure that there are no external devices mounted to /media or /tmp. * If the operating system is installed from "Operating System Deployment", select "Reboot and Exit" in the USC environment before booting to the operating system.
arbitration service of VMware ESX 4.1 and timeout occurs. The timeout occurs in the following instances: • When you start “DSM SA Shared Service” on the VMware ESX 4.1 managed node, it runs Inventory Collector. To work around this issue, uninstall Server Administrator or wait until the Inventory Collector completes execution before attempting to stop the “DSM SA Shared Service”. • When you manually try to run DUPs or the Inventory Collector on the VMware ESX 4.
12G BIOS ---------------------------------------------------------------------* BIOS updates require system services/Lifecycle controller 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.
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. * If the above memory limitation occurs on VMware ESX Server, the problem is because the console operating system available memory is only 272 MB by default. Increase the console operating system memory to 800 MB temporarily and perform the firmware update.
dcd***: Unknown symbol put_user_size Ignore these messages because they do not refer to errors in BIOS update. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Dell Embedded Open Manage Server Administrator ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dell Update Package for Dell Embedded OpenManage Server Administrator can only be applied in a pre-operating system environment that uses ELI through the Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK).
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Before running the Dell (Emulex) Network firmware DUP ensure that Dell (Emulex) driver packages are installed on the system.
* 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.
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.
* Stop all input/output to the PowerVault MD1000 before running the PowerVault MD1000 firmware update package. * WARNING: THE SERVER MUST BE REBOOTED AFTER UPDATING THE FIRMWARE ON MD1000 ENCLOSURES IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ENCLOSURE MANAGEMENT. ACCESS TO THE ENCLOSURES WILL BE LOST IF THE SERVER IS NOT REBOOTED. * When prompted for reboot after the update, select "Yes".
