HI,

I'm trying to run an unattended upgrade of firmware as part of my
servers deployment process and I have all the difficulties in the work
to make that work.

One of puzzling issues is that in the deployment environment (regular
Kickstarted Anaconda, deploying CentOS servers), "dsu -n" somehow
manages to think it's called in "preview" mode. The extremely
frustrating outcome is that it lists the updates to apply, but just
skips them.

Here's the log:

[63253]: + /sbin/dsu -n

[63253]: Copyright (C) 2014 Dell Proprietary.

[63253]: Run --inventory for checking the component status post DSU commit.
[63253]: Exiting DSU!

It's called as "/sbin/dsu -n" in the %post section of my kickstart
file, and yet runs as it had been called as "dsu -p"

Does anybody has any clue why this is happening? Could Dell please
provide a fix?

Maybe you need a "-u" as well to tell dsu to do the update? I don't have any boxes that need any firmware updates so I can't test.



Thanks,
