Today, on two PowerEdge R720 servers, I've seen "dsu" fail to update the
iDRAC. I have successfully used dsu before (and as far as I remember,
this includes updating iDRACs).
Updating the iDRAC by uploading a file to the iDRAC's web-interface
worked, but that takes more work and is harder to automate+document.
I'm pasting excerpts from the update-attempt sequence below (where dsu
v. 1.4.2 was used). I wonder if someone knows whether this is a known
problem -- perhaps even a known problem with a fix?
