Message Description/Solution
This update package requires an OpenIPMI
driver.
Currently no OpenIPMI driver is installed on
the system.
The DUP you selected cannot be installed because you do not
have the OpenIPMI driver installed on the system.
In order to assist in the <update|install>,
you can download and install a version of
the OpenIPMI driver that meets
the minimum version requirement from dell.com/
support/manuals. The minimum version required
is <version>.
Download and install the minimum required OpenIPMI driver from
dell.com/support/manuals.
This Update Package requires a newer version
of
the OpenIPMI driver than is currently
installed on the system, which is version
<version>.
The OpenIPMI driver that is currently installed on the system
does not meet the minimum version requirements of the selected
DUP.
Kernel source for the running kernel is not
installed,
and the currently installed OpenIPMI driver
RPM was installed without the kernel source
for the running kernel. In order to install
OpenIPMI driver modules for the running
kernel that meet the minimum version
requirement,
you must install kernel source for the
running kernel, and then use DKMS (see man
page for dkms) to install and build OpenIPMI
driver modules for the running kernel. To
install kernel source for the running
kernel, install the <filename> RPM that is
applicable to the running kernel.
Install the kernel source for the running kernel, and then use the
Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) framework to install
and build the OpenIPMI driver modules for the running kernel.
You must install the kernel source by installing the .rpm file
required by the kernel.
For information on using DKMS, see the man page for DKMS
from linux.dell.com/dkms/manpage.html.
You must reboot the system for the update to
take
effect.
If you shut down or power off the system after performing an
update, you will lose the update.
After performing a BIOS update, do not power off the system.
Reboot the system for the update to take effect.
An Update Package is already running. Wait
