Release Notes
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.
Defect DF452489 - Export comparison report, in the file Dialogbox mouse movements are
sluggish
To work around the issue, ddd the following line:
"*.multiClickTime: 500" to the file ~/.Xdefaults and run xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
Defect DF497677 - If an update fails while updating multiple devices of same type, the
comparison report shows that the current version is updated for all entries of the selected type.
On all versions of the ESX, following USB connection error messages are generated, these
messages can be ignored.
A typical message is:
Vendor: iDRAC Model: MAS022 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Vendor: iDRAC Model: SECUPD Rev: 0329
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
To launch SUU on systems running Linux (64-bit) from Windows CIFS share, do the following:
Mount the extracted SUU x32 ISO CIFS share using "-o sce=nounix, noserverino" options on SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11, and on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and 6.3 operating systems
(BITS032613).
