Using the Command Line Interface 39
NOTE: If you are using VMware ESX 4.1 operating system, disable usbarbitrator
and restart your system so that the storage components are displayed in the SUU
comparison report.
Changing the Default Location of Logs
The default location for SUU event logs in Windows is
<
%systemdrive% >:\dell\suu. The default location for the logs in Linux is
/var/log/dell/suu.
When you type suu with a command and a directory path, you can change
the default location for logs for that session of SUU. To change the directory
location for logs for a session of SUU, type:
suu <command> -directory <path>
For example, if you type suu -u -directory c:\tmp, SUU runs an
update on the system and redirects logs to c:\tmp instead of c:\dell\suu.
Viewing the Comparison Report
To run the SUU comparison application, type suu -c. A welcome screen is
displayed. While the comparison is in progress, the following message
accompanied by a spinning bar is displayed:

When complete, the Comparison Report displays as in the following
example:
