Release Notes

 DRAC5 updates are not supported on ESX 4.1. But if you run DRAC5 updates on ESX 4.1, console
messages show up asking for IPMI installations, however later the updates goes through
successfully.
 DUPs are designed to run only on a 32-bit environment. To run DUPs on a pure 64-bit
environment, use the Dell YUM repository.
 If you attach VMedia on a system with the iDRAC Firmware version 1.5 some DUPs may fail to
work. To resolve this issue, run the following command:
racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgLCDriveEnable 1 where cfgLCDriveEnable is an option
implemented in iDRAC 1.5 with a default of 0 (disabled)
NOTE: This command enables LCDrive from the iDRAC console or the OS. If the LCDrive is not
enabled, DUPs may not work. After the DUP update is complete, to ensure the LCDrive is
invisible, run the following command:
racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgLCDriveEnable 0.
 When you run USC-related DUPs with Citrix Xenserver 5.6.0-x, you need to set the virtual media
in iDRAC to Detach. If you set the virtual media to Attach, the following error message is
displayed:
"Inventory Failure: Secure Copy Failure - The Secure copy function has failed"
For BIOS updates, the following message is displayed:
"doDepCheck failed"
For other USC access related DUPs (PSU, NIC, SAS, PERC, BackPlane), the update is successful but
the following error message may be displayed:
"… mount: block device /dev/secmasupd-SECUPD is write-protected …
/bin/cp: cannot create regular file …"
 When you try to execute DUPs on a 64-bit RHEL operating system, it fails to execute since DUP is
a 32-bit application. To work around this issue, manually install the following RPMs:
glibc.i686
compat-libstdc++.i686
libstdc++.i686
zlib.i686
libxml2.i686
 While executing some DUP's on 11G servers and When virtual media is in attached mode, a
window with name SECUPD will popup and close automatically. Due to this there will be no
functionality impact on DUP. This behaviour is observed across all RHEL OS flavours.
 Linux CLI Options
For options beginning with '--', abbrevations are also supported.
Power Supply Unit (PSU) Dell Update Packages (DUPs)
After a Successful Power Supply firmware update, the system turns off, for up to 5 to 10 minutes, and
reboots automatically. If you perform a cold boot (AC Power cycle) during the firmware update, the
system does not boot.
Unified Server Configurator (USC) Dell Update Packages (DUPs)
 Lifecycle controller updates require system services to be enabled.
 For the first time, before you attempt to run Driver Package Diagnostics DUPs, execute the USC DUP.
 Before running DUPs, ensure that there are no external devices mounted to /media or /tmp.
 If the operating system is installed from "Operating System Deployment", select "Reboot and Exit" in
the USC environment before booting to the operating system. This closes the USC session which is
held for 18 hours. If you do not want to enter the USC and select "Reboot and Exit", but want to
execute the DUPs within 18 hours, unplug the power supply of the system, wait for 10 seconds, and
then power on the system.
 Due to the USB arbitration services of VMWare ESX 4.1, the USB devices appear invisible to the
Hypervisor. So, when DUPs or the Inventory Collector runs on the Managed Node, the partitions
exposed as USB devices are not shown, and it reaches the timeout after 15 to 20 minutes. This
timeout occurs in the following cases:
