Hi Sashi, Since R7910 is supported on RHEL, can support be added for Ubuntu ? As I said, the dsu tool itself works on ubuntu if I pass the complete catalog file from Dell's ftp site manually. Is there any downside to doing this ? Also, rack 7910 looks largely similar to R730 from what I can tell, and R730 seems to be supported on Ubuntu. It's very inconvenient to switch to RHEL/Centos just for updating firmware.
