Dell - Internal Use - Confidential

Hi Rene Shuster,
Can I know the Dell ID for the last point (* The 11G SAS/SATA FlexBay Backplane 
Firmware Update v1.09 shows 'Supported Platforms' "PowerEdge T710", but when 
you execute it under Linux it will show that it's compatible with a T610 and 
apply the FW update successfully.)

Regards
Muneer

Here are 4 more that I stumbled over while maintaining our FW ISO:
* The latest BIOS for the T630 (DELL ID GK2F7) shows under 'Supported Devices' 
"Server BIOS 12G".
* All OSC 1.1 FW updates (Dell ID 776YN, 5D53Y, 5W2KP, PWMC8) shows under 
'Supported Devices' "OS COLLECTOR 2.1" which is obviously contradicting.
* Backplane 12G SEP (for 8 drives or less) v1.00 (DELL ID 681JN) fails 
Collecting Inventory
* The 11G SAS/SATA FlexBay Backplane Firmware Update v1.09 shows 'Supported 
Platforms' "PowerEdge T710", but when you execute it under Linux it will show 
that it's compatible with a T610 and apply the FW update successfully.

These are all Linux FW updates, I'm not sure if the windows releases are also 
affected.

​The BIOS/UEFI update for the 13th Gen server (Dell Release ID 6YDCM) shows 
'Supported Platforms' "R730,R730xd,R630", but under 'Supported Devices' it 
shows "Server BIOS 12G" in RepoManager which is confusing. Is there a better 
place to report these issues with the FW DUPs than the Dell Linux list? It's a 
pain to open a ticket for this kind of things. Github would be perfect.

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] SAS Drive Firmware annoyances.

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.
