For more information on installing SUU, see the "DELL EMC OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide." Note: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) privileges can perform updates with SUU. ###################################################################### USER NOTES ###################################################################### This section provides information to help enhance your experience with SUU in specific implementations and environments. * SUU supports Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) Service Module 2.3 and later version. NOTE: iDRAC Service Module is supported on all Dell’s 12th generation and 13th generation PowerEdge servers (64-bit operating system) with iDRAC version later than 2.10.10.10. * If you launch SUU from a command shell and then press , the SUU procedure, as well as any running updates, will terminate.(137862) * When you launch SUU, depending on the system configuration the inventory collection process takes few minutes , delaying the display of system comparison report.(138439) * The figures and examples in the "DELL EMC OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide" are used as examples only and may not be identical to the SUU GUI.(137294, 136624) * When you verify the SUU return codes, use the operating system- specific commands to view the exit codes.(137296) For example: Microsoft Windows: echo %ERRORLEVEL% ###################################################################### KNOWN ISSUES ###################################################################### This section provides information about known issues with this release of SUU. * When you run the iSM update on Microsoft Windows Server Core operating system, the update is unsuccessful * VRTX M520 is displayed as M520 in SUU Comparison report. * VRTX M620 is displayed as M620 in SUU Comparison report. * Hard drive update is not supported in HBA mode. * When updating multiple, identical devices on the same system, SUU applies the latest update to all instances of all devices. For example, if the system is configured with three controllers configured with firmware or driver versions 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, and the repository version is 1.4, SUU applies version 1.4 to all instances of all devices.(136620) * When you run SUU using the "-p" option, SUU reports the current instance log location ("suu -p") instead of the SUU instance log location ("suu -u") that is performing the update.(135925) * If a NIC teaming application is installed on the system, SUU updates only the NIC base driver,if the driver is compatible with the teaming application. To verify driver compatibility, run DUP on the system to update the driver and read the generated messages.(138648) * Devices that are disabled in the operating system are not inventoried or updated by SUU. To update or inventory these devices, enable the devices in the operating system and then re-launch SUU. (142111) * Do not use the RAC/iDRAC virtual media to remotely run SUU on a system. This procedure ends the virtual media connection, resulting in an unsuccesful SUU update.(144487) * SUU update is unsuccessful if SUU is run from a pathname that contains special characters such as,",:,/,\,$, and so on. It is recommended to use a directory name without any special characters for running SUU. For example, when a USB DVD-ROM or USB disk is attached,to a system running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system, mounts it to a directory name that contains special characters. For example, /media/USB:1:2/ (42279) ##################################################################### THIRD PARTY DISCLAIMER ##################################################################### The following disclaimer applies to the "TreeTable" control code in IT Assistant: Copyright 1997, 1998 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
