Release Notes

signals) can generate a "/var/lock/.spsetup" lock file that cannot be deleted. SUU reports the
update as successful and prompts to reboot the system. When you run SUU again on the same
system, the comparison report displays no change in device status. If this situation occurs and no
update is in progress, remove "/var/lock/.spsetup" before running another update on the system.

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.
The work around is:
Manually install the following RPMs:
glibc.i686
compat-libstdc++.i686
libstdc++.i686
zlib.i686
libxml2.i686
libXp.i686
libXtst.i686
ncurses-libs
pam.i686
If you login to a system running on Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008 operating
system, by default you are logged in as a regular user even though you may have Administrator
privileges. This is due to an in-built feature called User Account Control (UAC) that automatically
reduces the potential of security breaches. Before you run SUU on your system, elevate the
privileges for administrators using Windows security options in Group Policy Editor. For more
information, see the SUU User's Guide.
