Hi Mark/Rene,

There is a known issue on linux systems for update packages created with very 
old framework.

All the update packages (except 68NGY) are built with old framework(7.2.0 or 
7.3.1), hence they might have the issue. The details of the issue is given 
below:




Description

Firmware related  to PowerEdge Storage may fail to update with error 
“Collecting inventory. Inventory collection failed “  In following conditions



  *   Device being updated is PERC / Hard Drive Or Backplane.
  *   Operating system is Linux.
  *   Server generation is 11G.
  *   OMSA 8.2 is installed.


This article is applicable only when all above conditions are met. Do not 
replace hardware Engineering is aware of the issue.






Solution


  *            Uninstall OMSA 8.2
  *            Run the DUP to update the firmware

Or


  *            Stop OMSA services
  *            Rename the libstorelibir.so.5 from /opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64 to 
libstorelibir.so.5.bkp
  *            Run the DUP
  *            Rename libstorelibir.so.5.bkp to libstorelibir.so.5 from  
/opt/dell/srvadmin/lib64 directory
  *            Start OMSA services


Fix is included in newer DUP framework and  newer version of firmware update ( 
DUP) on each impacted Firmware DUP is expected to have fix.


Can you please share more details about the failure of the update package 68NGY?

Thanks,
Ananya

Do we know yet if this is us(er error) or DELL causing the issue? Anyone else 
experiencing this?

I'm running the ISO (and see the inventory collection fail) on T630, R730, 
R720, T610, R710, T710 and R610 servers.

dsu fails on several SAS drive firmware updates saying it can't collect 
inventory.

the fix, after a little debugging...

download the SAS drive firmware bin manually (one way or another), run 
./SAS-<whatever> --extract=/tmp/mypath

cd /tmp/mypath
mv libstorelibir.so libstorelibir.so.5
./spssetup.sh
done.


could anyone comment if they are seeing this and if so what drives ?

so far my list is
SAS-Drive_Firmware_V38WK_LN_ES68
SAS-Drive_Firmware_68NGY_LN_LS0B

there is another segate drive that also fails without some manual work on an 
admin's part , but I can't seem to find it in my notes right now.

anyone else seeing this ? I've seen a few RPM updates to these packages but 
there is no change log on them from the packaging point of view and my issue 
wasn't fixed with it so I have no idea what the change in the packaging was 
that bumped the version number of the rpm packaging as the firmware rev was the 
same.
