Hi Gera,

I will pass your request over to the Dell Client platform team that is the 
owner of the Precision Workstation R7910.

Subject: Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] Ubuntu dsu catalog doesn't work with rack 7910

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.

Hi,

Rack 7910 is not supported on Ubuntu.
Ubuntu catalog is supported only on some particular generation of servers.

Hope this clarifies.

Regards,
Sashi

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] Ubuntu dsu catalog doesn't work with rack 7910

Hello,
The dsu utility doesn't return any matches for rack 7910 servers when run from 
Ubuntu 16.04. It works on RHEL/CentOS, and it even works on Ubuntu if I fetch 
the catalog manually from ftp://ftp.dell.com/catalog/catalog.cab. It appears 
that the ubuntu catalog is not in sync with other catalogs. Currenlty, my dsu 
output on ubuntu wihout a catlog argument looks like:
