For more information on installing SUU, see the "DELL Server Update Utility User's Guide." Note: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) privileges can perform updates with SUU. ###################################################################### USER NOTES ###################################################################### This section provides information to help enhance your experience with SUU in specific implementations and environments. * SUU supports Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) Service Module 2.3 and later version. NOTE: iDRAC Service Module is supported on all Dell’s 12th generation and 13th generation PowerEdge servers (64-bit operating system) with iDRAC version later than 2.10.10.10. * If you launch SUU from a command shell and then press , the SUU procedure, as well as any running updates, will terminate.(137862) * When you launch SUU, depending on the system configuration the inventory collection process takes few minutes , delaying the display of system comparison report. * The figures and examples in the "DELL Server Update Utility User's Guide" are used as examples only and may not be identical to the SUU GUI. * When you verify the SUU return codes, use the operating system- specific commands to view the exit codes. For example: Microsoft Windows: echo %ERRORLEVEL% ###################################################################### KNOWN ISSUES ###################################################################### This section provides information about known issues with this release of SUU. * The update for AMD BUS chipset component is unsuccessful. * When you run the S140 driver update on Microsoft Windows Server operating system, the update is unsuccessful * The Emulex FC firmware is not listed in the SUU Comparison Report * The QLogic 10GE 2P QL41112HxCU-DE Adapter is not listed in the SUU Comparison Report on Windows Server 2019 operating system. * In the SUU Comparison Report, the Qlogic 41xxx adapter firmware DUP (SWB-YC37P) is displayed as “Dual Band Wireless AC 3160”. * If you try to upgrade the Qlogic 41xxx adapter firmware DUP(SWB-YC37P) to the same version, the upgrade may fail. * The 13G SEP firmware DUP {SWB# GWJRF} won’t work on more than 8 HDD backplane system configurations. * Hard drive update is not supported in HBA mode. * When updating multiple identical devices on a system using SUU, the latest update is applied to all instances of all devices. For example, if the system has three controllers with firmware or driver version 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, and the repository version is 1.4, SUU will apply version 1.4 to all instances of all devices.(136620) * When you run SUU using the "-p" option, SUU reports the current instance log location ("suu -p") instead of the SUU instance log location ("suu -u") that is performing the update.(135925) * When a NIC teaming application is installed on a system, SUU will only update the NIC base driver if the driver is compatible with the teaming application. To verify driver compatibility, run DUP on the system to update the driver and read the generated messages.(138648) * Devices that are disabled in the operating system are not inventoried or updated by SUU. To update or inventory these devices, enable the devices in the operating system and then re-launch SUU. (142111) * Do not use the iDRAC virtual media to remotely run SUU on a system. This procedure terminates the virtual media connection, resulting in an unsuccessful SUU update.(144487) ###################################################################### 2023 - 02
