For more information on installing SUU, see the "Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide." Note: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges can perform updates with SUU. ###################################################################### USER NOTES ###################################################################### This section provides information to help enhance your experience with SUU in specific implementations and environments. * If you launch SUU from a command shell and then press, the SUU procedure, as well as any running updates, will terminate. (137862) * When you launch SUU, the utility inventories the targeted system. Depending on the system configuration, this process may take several minutes to complete. (138439) * The figures and examples in the "Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide" are used as examples only and may not be identical to the SUU GUI. (137294, 136624) * When you verify the SUU return codes, use the operating systemspecific commands to view the exit codes. (137296) For example: Microsoft Windows: echo %ERRORLEVEL% Red Hat Enterprise Linux: echo $? ###################################################################### KNOWN ISSUES ###################################################################### This section provides information about known issues with this release of SUU. * If you have multiple PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) cards installed on a system, you may be required to run the SUU update procedure several times to update the firmware on all the installed cards. * If your CERC ATA RAID controllers are configured with the H661 firmware, SUU cannot update the firmware to the latest version. To update the firmware, use the "-force" option to manually apply the DUP with the latest firmware version. (134775) * When updating multiple, identical devices on the same system, SUU applies the latest update to all instances of all devices. For example, if your system is configured with three controllers configured with firmware/driver versions 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, and the repository version is 1.4, SUU applies version 1.4 to all instances of all devices. (136620) * When you run SUU using the "-p" option, SUU reports the current instance log location ("suu -p") instead of the SUU instance log location ("suu -u") that is performing the update. (135925) * SUU uses DUPs to update various system components. During a Red Hat Enterprise Linux update, the DUPs create a "/var/lock/.spsetup" file using the Linux lockfile utility during the initial execution procedure. Kernel panics or sudden reboots during DUP execution (reboots where TERM signals are not sent to running processes or where running processes do not have time to catch these signals) can generate a "/var/lock/.spsetup" lock file that cannot be deleted. SUU reports the update as successful and prompts you to reboot the system. When you run SUU again on the same system, the comparison reports no change in device status. If this situation occurs and no update is in progress, remove "/var/lock/.spsetup" before running another update on the system. (137287) * If a NIC teaming application is installed on the system, SUU updates the NIC base driver only if the driver is compatible with the teaming application. To verify driver compatibility, run DUP on the system to update the driver and read the generated messages.(138648) * Devices that are disabled in the operating system are not inventoried or updated by SUU. To update or inventory these devices, enable the devices in the operating system and then relaunch SUU. (142111) * Do not use the RAC virtual media to run SUU remotely on a system. This procedure breaks the virtual media connection, causing the SUU update procedure to fail. (144487) * SUU fails if it is run from a pathname that contains special characters. For example, ",:,/,\,$, etc. It is recommended to use a directory name without any special characters for running SUU. As an example, a case where you can get directory name with special characters is: In the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system, when a USB DVD-ROM or USB disk is attached, it may by default, mount to a directory name that contains special characters. For example, /media/USB:1:2/ (42279) * If a RAC DUP package (RAC 4/P or RAC 4/i) is running and SUU is started, the RAC package may fail. To resolve this issue, run SUU only after the RAC package has completed execution. (23184) * In Linux, if there is not enough space in the var partition or tmp folder, SUU displays the following error message: "Not enough space available in the /var or /tmp folder. Please make sure you have at least x MB." The value ‘x’ is the minimum amount of space required to apply the selected updates. This value varies according to the selected updates. Ensure that you have sufficient space in the var partition or tmp folder and restart SUU to start the system inventory. (66118). * In some cases where the latest Intel NIC driver (Intel(R) PRO PCIE Gigabit Family of Adapters 9.5, base driver version 9.6.31.0) is installed as part of Dell Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU) install, SUU may not be able to inventory the respective NIC. This may happen because SBUU would not have installed the umbrella software. In these cases, install the umbrella with the umbrella installer (available at support.dell.com or in the SERVICE directory on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD) to get the Intel NIC inventoried by SUU (DF130363). ##################################################################### THIRD PARTY DISCLAIMER ##################################################################### The following disclaimer applies to the "TreeTable" control code in IT Assistant: Copyright 1997, 1998 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
