Segmentation error is observed when the option
rsystemtype or when --use-idrac-passthrough is
mentioned in config file
In some scenarios segmentation fault is observed for multiple remote connection through iDRAC.
Recommendation: If the issue persists, user has to re-try the command.
Firmware updates via iDRAC or iDRAC passthrough with a
non-admin user displays an error as 0 Updates Succeeded.
Reason for this error might be with insufficient privileges, refer DSU log file to confirm same. Perform the update using iDRAC
user with Administrator privileges.
DSU functionality fails for the system when the iDRAC was
configured with non-default HTTPS port using iDRAC USB-
NIC passthrough
Change the iDRAC HTTPS port to default (443) and retry the updates.
DSU installed system environmental variable "PATH" is not
getting cleared during uninstallation
When DSU is used in remote scenarios, DSU installed system environmental variable "PATH" is not getting cleared during
uninstallation. If multiple remote sessions are used for the same machine the entry created by DSU will get accumulated due to
this.
Workaround : Delete multiple entries of DSU path.

and iDRAC-pass-through with preview with iDRAC version
