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.
Redundant message displayed on Windows console while using remote option.
To avoid redundant messages the command prompt needs to be restarted. For example: Number of systems complete:
5/5 100% Number of systems complete: 4/5 80%
The system IP address on the DSU's Log file displayed is not correct.
On some cases the Virtual IP address is captured by DSU in place of OS IP, in such scenarios the IP address displayed will not be
correct.
On the remote systems running SUSE Linux 15 servers, the remote system is unable get connected after a restart.
This is due to the firewall which could be enabled after a restart.
Host System displays an error message as "unknown option provided in DSU" when the option
UseLatestDSU=FALSE mentioned in config file.
Set the value of attribute value as TRUE. If the lesser version of DSU installed on target system all the functionality or the
options for remote feature is not enabled hence following message can be thrown in the case.
While using --push-remote-updates option on systems running SUSE Linux operating systems , updates failure
message is observed.
Reason for failure message is the updates fails to download on the host system.
In such scenarios try using option --source-type=REPOSITORY along with --source-location=<repo-location>.
Libgpme library not found, on Ubuntu operating systems to run any DSU command.
Error occurs when libgpgme library not found on the host system.
Solution: libgpgme library is one of the dependency for DSU. Please install it on your host system
Unable to connect error occurs while running the DSU with option -use-idrac-passthrough in Linux Operating
System.
