Hi, While the repository refresh takes time till 05/18, DSU can still consume the latest catalog available at ftp.dell.com<ftp://ftp.dell.com> or downloads.dell.com which contains the latest updates. Regarding the BIOS update not working as expected, we’ll work with the dependent team and update you accordingly.

(See http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2018-April/051685.html and http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2018-April/051695.html) I was fully expecting that it would take a little while until the update shows up in DSU and that's fine. The problem is that, even after it does show up in DSU, the update still won't work in doing what it claims to do. As I mentioned, it does not do anything to address the Spectre vulnerability on R815 systems running Opteron 6200 or 6300 series processors (including Opteron 6378), which this BIOS update is specifically supposed to address. Why is this? Any explanations/updates on that?? Thanks. -- Matt Vander Werf HPC System Administrator University of Notre Dame Center for Research Computing - Union Station 506 W.

We refresh DSU repository 3rd week of every month. Since the current available repository was refreshed on 20th of April, next repository refresh (18th of May) shall carry this update.

Why?? Maybe because https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/ references this mailing list, and though not exclusively, mainly Dell tech team is here for that reason. And nowhere near hijacking - if Dell guys read this they should see these are directly connected. And since, I'd imagine most of us here use DSU we are disappointed again that we learn again(this way) that maintenance of the repo is bit shoddy.(nothing to do whit you) > > And, please be more polite, and do not hijack threads, and follow the > netiquette – [1] is one example. > > Anyway, from the device page for my system I get with the service tag, > I find [2]. > > > Kind regards, > > Paul > > > [1] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette > [2] > http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?drive > rId=PDFYH > _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
