Has anyone successfully used dsu to update firmware from Linux, working
through an http proxy?  Given the storage requirements, I'd rather do
that, than have a local copy of the entire linux.dell.com repository.  A
caching proxy would give me most of the advantage of local storage,
without requiring me to download EVERYTHING.

Of course, to make things more complicated, this is a RHEL7 system,
booted using an NFS root, therefore most of the / volume is read-only,
unless I explicitly list it in /etc/rwtab, /etc/rwtab.d/*, or
/etc/statetab, etc.  I've already added the following to rwtab.d, and
therefore are bind-mounted on a tmpfs, but there may be something else
I'm missing:

> # cat /etc/rwtab.d/dell /etc/rwtab.d/yum_cache
> files   /opt/dell
> files   /usr/libexec/dell_dup/
> files /var/cache/yum

Thanks,

Lloyd
