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 2.
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 1.4 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
dislayed.
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.
