When we create a bootable ISO using the ./dsucreateiso
script, does it include files such as LC OS Driver Packs,
DSET and other files?
Yes, using the script the repository is being created with the Linux bundles. As in mounted environment, DSU is being executed
which applies filters to remove the LC OS Driver Packs and the other files.
Which is the default directory to output the ISO?
Executing directory with ISO name as dsu_bootableimage_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S is the default directory to output the ISO.
Where to look for the log files while using the dsucreateiso
command?
The log files are located in /var/log/ with the log filename as dsucreateiso.log.
How can I generate a separate log file for each remote
system on host system.
Separate log file for individual connection can be provided using LogFile attribute in the config file as shown below.
<RemoteSystem>
<System Address="100.100.138.12" LogFile="/home/dsu/system1.log"/>
<System Address="100.100.138.13" LogFile="/home/dsu/system2.log"/>
</RemoteSystem>
DSU exits with an error message on Ubuntu while loading
libraries.
DSU exits with an error message: " dsu : error while loading shared libraries: libssh2.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory.". Install the dependencies (libssh2.so.1) required for
executing remote feature of DSU.
Are there any limitations on the number of servers that can
be updated at one time with the Remote attribute?
As long as the network has the bandwidth there are no limitations.
