I am using DSU on 10th generation of PowerEdge

Systems. What are the possible outcomes that i may

have to handle while using DSU with repository,

catalog or RPM?

The following table describes the scenarios and the expected outcomes if you use DSU on 10th generation of PowerEdge systems.

NOTE: The Dell’s PowerEdge 10G servers have reached end of support life. Version 16.12.01 is the last version of repository or

catalog with support for 10th generation updates.

Table 5. Possible Outcomes for PowerEdge systems

Scenarios Outcomes

DSU on 10th generation of PowerEdge system pointing to the

newest Linux Repository (on linux.dell.com) and the Repository no

longer has 10G content.

Platform not supported message is displayed.

DSU 1.5 RPM (sourced from linux.dell.com) on a 10th generation

of PowerEdge system pointing to the newest Linux Repository

that no longer has 10G content.

Platform not supported message is displayed.

DSU 1.4 RPM on a 10th generation of PowerEdge system pointing

to an older Linux Repository that still has 10G content.

All commands work as usual.

DSU 1.4 DUP (sourced from downloads.dell.com) pointing to

catalog.xml le that no longer has 10G content.

There may be two possible outcomes:

installed.

• If DUP supports 10G platform, DSU is installed. When dsu

command is invoked Platform not supported message is

displayed.

I am running DSU 1.4 DUP and pointing at a legacy catalog.xml

that has 10G content.

There may be two possible outcome:

• If the DUP doesn’t support 10G platform, then DSU is not

installed.

• If DUP supports 10G platform, DSU is installed. dsu command

works as usual.

I see a message saying that the DSU could not get the

inventory. What should I be doing to resolve the

issue?

You have to uninstall or delete the inventory collector from the DSU working folder and retry.
