Release Notes
Dell - Internal Use - Confidential
The 13G SEP firmware DUP {SWB# GWJRF} won’t work on more than 8 HDD backplane system configurations.
Hard drive update is not supported in HBA mode.
When updating multiple, identical devices on the same system, SUU applies the latest update to all instances of all devices.
For example, if the system is configured with three controllers configured with firmware or 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)
If a NIC teaming application is installed on the system, SUU updates only the NIC base driver, 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 re-launch SUU. (142111)
Do not use the RAC/iDRAC virtual media to remotely run SUU on a system. This procedure ends the virtual media
connection, resulting in an unsuccessful SUU update.(144487)
SUU update is unsuccessful if SUU is run from a pathname that contains special characters such as,",:,/,\,$, and so on. It is
recommended to use a directory name without any special characters for running SUU. For example, when a USB DVD-
ROM or USB disk is attached, to a system running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system, mounts it to a directory
name that contains special characters. For example, /media/USB:1:2/. (42279)
In Linux, if there is no 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 ensure you have atleast 1.5GB.
"Ensure that you have sufficient space in the var partition or tmp folder and reboot SUU to start the system
inventory.(66118)
In some cases, where the latest Intel NIC driver (Intel 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 happens because SBUU would not have installed the umbrella software. In these cases, install the
umbrella with the umbrella installer (available at dell.com/support or in the SERVICE directory in the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD).(DF130363)
You cannot run on a 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system on SUU because SUU is a 32-bit application.
