KNOWN ISSUES ---------------------------------------------------------------------For all Dell Update Packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------• Do not run other applications while executing Dell Update Packages. • For firmware Dell Update Packages, an update package will not inventory the device if only a native non-Dell driver is installed. Therefore, firmware update packages cannot upgrade a device with a native driver.
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.
I/O error: dev 08:21, sector 1 Vendor: iDRAC Model: SECUPD Type: Direct-Access • Rev: 0329 ANSI SCSI revision: 02 DRAC5 updates are not supported on ESX 4.1. But if you run DRAC5 updates on ESX 4.1, console messages show up asking for IPMI installations, however later the updates goes through successfully. • DUPs are designed to run only on a 32-bit environment. To run DUPs on a pure 64-bit environment, use the Dell YUM repository.
"… 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.
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. • Due to the USB arbitration services of VMWare ESX 4.1, the USB devices appear invisible to the Hypervisor.
Note: If you require the usbarbitrator, enable it manually. To enable the usbarbitrator, run the command - chkconfig usbarbitrator on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------12 G BIOS ---------------------------------------------------------------------• BIOS updates require system services/Lifecycle controller to be enabled.
Server boot up, perform the following steps to increase the available memory: 1. While booting, press "e" on the VMware ESX line (Grub option display screen). 2. Press "e" again on the 'uppermem=' line and edit uppermem=819200. 3. Press "Enter". 4. Press "e" on the kernel line (below the uppermem line). Edit the kernel line with mem=800M and press “Enter”. • 5. Press "b" to boot with these options. 6. Perform the firmware update.
Intel iqvLinux driver must be compiled on the target system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Emulex firmware ---------------------------------------------------------------------Before running the Dell (Emulex) Network firmware DUP ensure that Dell (Emulex) driver packages are installed on the system.
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------PowerVault 100T DDS4 firmware and all PowerVault 110T firmware (110T DDS4, 110T DAT72, 110T LTO1, 110T LTO2, 110T LTO2-L, 110T LTO3-HH, 110T LTO4, 110T SDLT320, 110T LTO3, 110T DLT VS80, 110T DLT VS160, and 110T SDLT) ---------------------------------------------------------------------• Before executing the firmware update, stop all tape backup activity and put all scheduled jobs on hold.
