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? ================================================================ [root@server ~]# dsu Dell System Update 1.4.2 Copyright (C) 2014 Dell Proprietary.

Is /dev/sdfw really mounted on /media/scrtch ? That would seem to imply you have at least 179 SCSI drives in your system?
