Hi Sashi, hi Dell team, hi list, It's certainly a stupid question, but why update the DSU catalog only once a month? Most Linux distributions update their repositories whenever necessary, especially when they find patches for security vulnerabilities. Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities need fixes quickly but of course correctly tested. Making patches available only once a month like Microsoft, Adobe or Oracle for example, is it a good idea? Would not it be wise to have a higher frequency (once a week)?
On the other hand, most of our servers are under Debian, I have not managed to use DSU successfully on these servers. I have browsed part of the documentation concerning DSU without finding how to install and use it (I have of course downloaded the catalog for Ubuntu). Is it compatible with Debian? The only solution we have is to restart our servers under Lifecycle to see if new firmwares are available and thus making our services unavailable for a significant time. On our server under CentOS, I can test if firmware updates are available and scheduled at a time more conducive to these updates. Any help would be welcome. Kind regards.
