Running SUU With the Progress Option

When running SUU with the -p (progress) option, the SUU current instance log location is reported rather than the SUU

update log location.

Updating Multiple Devices

When updating multiple, identical devices on the same system, SUU applies the update to all instances of all devices.

For example, if your system is configured with three controllers running firmware or driver versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, and

the repository contains version 1.2, the update applies firmware version 1.2 to all devices.

Updating PERC Firmware

If you have multiple PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) cards installed on a system, you may need to run the

SUU update more than once to update the firmware of all PERC cards. This procedure ensures that all PERC cards are

updated if one or more cards failed to update during the initial SUU update.

PERC update packages may fail if other activities, such as a consistency check or background initialization (BGI) are

running on the controller. Ensure that such activities are not in progress before running the update package.

Restarting the System Inventory in the Same Session

SUU does not allow you to restart the system inventory in the same session if there is insufficient space in the var

or tmp

folder.

In Linux, if the space is not enough in the var or tmp folder, SUU displays the following error message :Not enough space

available in /var or /tmp folder. Please make sure you have at least 100MB.

Ensure that you have sufficient space in the var or tmp folder and restart SUU to start the system inventory.

Running SUU From a Network Location

• When SUU is running from a network location and is performing a system inventory, if you get disconnected

from the network, SUU displays a blank Comparison Report. To view the contents of the Comparison Report,

ensure that you are connected to the network and restart SUU.

• When SUU is running from a network location and the Comparison Report is displayed, if you get disconnected

from the network and then click the Update

button, SUU does not update any components. To update

components, ensure that you are connected to the network and restart SUU.

Deleting the Temporary Folder

When you run SUU from a network location, JRE creates temporary files in the

<%systemdrive%>:\Documents and

Settings\<%user%>\Local Settings\Temp\hsperfdata_<%user%> directory in Microsoft Windows or in the /var folder in

Linux. You need to manually delete these temporary files.

Updating the H661 Firmware

If the CERC ATA RAID controllers are configured with the H661 firmware, SUU cannot update the firmware to the latest

version. To update the firmware, use the -force option to manually apply the DUP with the latest firmware version.
