Table 5. Update Packages Message Information
Message Description/Solution
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This Update Package requires a newer
version of
the OpenIPMI driver than is currently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
until
it is complete before proceeding with
another update.
You can run only one DUP at a time.
