Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] Problem with DSU on RHEL 6.8

Hi,

Sorry for not giving you news before, but I've tried to ask for permission to send you the inventory files from my company, and was not able to get it.

Anyway, I've been digging in the meantime, and it seems that the problem is indeed in the content of the inv.xml file, as testing dsu --input-inventory-file= with a inv.xml file from another server works well.


And so I was able to isolate the lines that cause the problem :

What is pretty strange is that removing either one or the other (or both) of the lines removes the problem.

Also, adding these two lines to a inv.xml file on a server where everything was correctly working before makes the dsu command fail too.

I'm currently updating the local repository as I've seen there are new dell-system-update and dsucatalog packages, but I've already installed them locally and it does not seem to correct the problem.


Versions on the server where I added the lines (redhat 6.5) :

invcol_RPTVF_LN64_17.03.200.987_A00-17.03.00.987-RPTVF.x86_64
dell-system-update-1.4.0-17.02.00.x86_64
dsucatalog-17.03.00-R83X8.noarch

Versions on the server where I'm doing my tests, which have always failed before removing the lines (redhat 6.8) :


dsucatalog-17.04.00-HF1W6.noarch
dell-system-update-1.4.1-17.04.00.x86_64
invcol_RPTVF_LN64_17.03.200.987_A00-17.03.00.987-RPTVF.x86_64

Bye.

Hi,

What is the dsu version used?

Try running below commands and send us the output:

dsu --output-inventory-xml="/root/dsu_inv.xml"
dsu --input-inventory-file="/root/dsu_inv.xml"

Please attach dsu_inv.xml to analyze this.

Thanks,
Venu

Hi guys,

I'm trying to have DSU working of some Dell Poweredge r730xd servers,
but despite trying all manipulations I could find here and there, I
stll get the infamous "Could not parse the inventory" message.

FYI, I have made a mirror of the Dell repository, and packages are
installed from there.

Whenever I run dsu -i, the trace of the process tells me that it opens
and reads the first block of the inv.xml file, then immediately after
that it fails with the error message.

The content of the file seems ok to me :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>


<SVMInventory lang="en" schemaVersion="1.0" invcolVersion="17.03.200
(BLD_987)" invcolBuild="987" timeStamp="2017-04-25T12:39:10">
         <OperatingSystem osCode="LIN" osVendor="Redhat" osArch="x64"
majorVersion="redhat-release-server-6Server"
minorVersion="2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64"/>
         <System systemID="0627"/><Device componentID="2331"
display="OpenManage Server Administrator">

etc ...

I have tried removing the binary file, running it on a command line to
feed the resulting file to dsu, removing and reinstalling all
packages, ... Nothing works and I'm running out of ideas.

If you have any new idea on that problem I'm willing to test it !

Thanks and bye.
