Kilian,
As per your mail:

> file, and yet runs as it had been called as "dsu -p"
As I understand, the commands in the %post section will be executed while
creating the iso (in chroot, nochroot environment), but not while booting a
platform using the iso. Is it intentional to use dsu -n in post section?
Also, could you share the kickstart file you used for us to try.
Thanks,
Soorej

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]: Dell System Update 1.4.2
[63253]: Copyright (C) 2014 Dell Proprietary.

[63253]: NOTE: The preview option displays the components which can be updated
based on Catalog. This option does not update.
[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?
Thanks,

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 for the suggestion. "dsu -n" actually applies the updates when run
in a regular environment, outside of the Kickstart file.
Cheers,
