Installing Device Drivers

DUPs update BIOS, firmware, drivers, and applications. If a device driver is not present in the system, DUPs allow you to do a fresh installation of the driver. You can install the driver provided the supported hardware is present.

Interactive Mode

In interactive mode, if a fresh installation is applicable, DUP displays a message to install the driver along with the version of the package. Click Yes to install the package. Installation results are logged in the DUP Message Logs.

Non-Interactive Mode

When a fresh installation is applicable, executing DUPs with the /s switch installs the driver.

For example, packagename.exe /s and packagename.exe /s /r does a fresh installation of driver DUPs.

NOTE: Not all driver DUPs support fresh installation. See the

Operating Systems readme

file for the list of drivers that do not support fresh installation.

Dell Update Packages for Microsoft Windows

Linux Prerequisites and Features

This section lists all the prerequisites and features for Linux Operating System.

Dell-Qualified and Dell-Enabled Packages

Before installing DUPs, read the information provided online and in the download package. Ensure that the updates you selected are both necessary and appropriate for the system. You may also need to complete some or all of the following steps:

• Add executable privileges to the package filename. Type the following command: chmod +x packagename.bin

• Verify that the package meets the prerequisites for performing an update. To perform the check, type the following command: ./packagename.bin -c

• Utilize one of the following methodologies for performing the updates. The first method is called the Single update method. In this method, Run the DUP from the command line in interactive mode to perform the update. The other method is called the Script method. Use this method if you want to run one or more updates from a script in non-interactive mode.

OpenIPMI Requirements

Certain DUPs may require the latest OpenIPMI Linux device drivers to be installed on the system. If you are prompted during installation to obtain the latest drivers, see dell.com/support/manuals. or download the latest drivers from the Linux support site.

NOTE: For dependencies and information on running DUPs in the Dell‑provided embedded Linux environment and in a customized embedded Linux environment and for information on the required files and tools, see the

NOTE: The required minimum kernel version is 2.6.9-42.

at dell.com/support/manuals. .

Dell

Windows Prerequisites and Features

Before installing DUPs, read the information provided online and in the download package. Ensure that the updates you selected are necessary and appropriate for the system. You may also need to complete some or all of the following steps:

NOTE: Run the DUP Check option on the target system to ensure that the system meets the prerequisites for performing an update.To run the check from the CLI, type the following command:

packagename.exe /c /s

To run the check from the GUI, perform the following steps:

1. Double-click the .exe file for the DUP you downloaded.

2. Read the information about the update in the GUI’s scrolling text window. You can view the log results after running the check option from either the CLI or the GUI. The default path for the

older version prior to DUP 7.2 framework the log file is %SystemDrive%\dell\updatepackage\log

and the path for DUP 7.2 framework onwards the log file are : Windows2003 : %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Dell\UpdatePackage\log

Windows 2008 and 2012 : %SystemDrive%\Program Data\Dell\UpdatePackage\log .

3. Determine that the target system meets compatibility requirements.

4. For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Legacy Compatibility Guide, the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix, and Other Documents You May Need.

5. Create a directory structure for performing the updates.

6. Determine a methodology for performing the updates. The first method is called as Single update method. In this method, Run the DUP from the command line in interactive mode to perform the update. The other method is called as Script method. Use this method if you want to run one or more updates from a script in non-interactive mode.

NOTE: DUPs for Windows can also be found in the repository on the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility DVD that contains the updated BIOS, drivers, and firmware components for Dell systems.

Installation Order of DUPs

If you are installing multiple DUPs, install the updates that require a reboot at the end. For recommended installation order see the following table.

Table 1. Update Packages: Recommended Installation Order

Installation Order System Software Components

1 Device driver

2 Device firmware

3 ESM firmware

4 LifeCycle Controller

5 BIOS

NOTE: If you have updated the BIOS, Power supply FW, PERC FW, SAS expander FW, PCIeSSD FW, Intel, QLogic and Broadcom FW the changes to the components take effect only after you reboot the system.

NOTE: To ensure a single reboot, you must install the ESM firmware update before the BIOS update.

Important Tips to Remember for Using DUPs

• Prepare repair disks before you perform any updates.

• Download the currently installed version of drivers, BIOS, and firmware, so that you have a backup plan in case of any issues.

• Make sure that you have a backup of operating system files or system configuration files stored on a system other than the one you are updating.

• Make sure that the updates are planned for and performed by the system administrator who knows which applications could be affected.

• Before updating all systems, perform the upgrade on one nonessential system to test the update.

• Do not run other applications while executing DUPs.

• Do not shut down the system while an update is in progress.

• Make sure that the system reboots without power interruption after performing a BIOS update.

• Do not close any terminal console windows used for performing the DUP CLI execution, while DUP executions are in progress.

Contacting Dell

NOTE: If you do not have an active Internet connection, you can find contact information on your purchase invoice, packing slip, bill, or Dell product catalog.

Dell provides several online and telephone-based support and service options. Availability varies by country and product, and some services may not be available in your area. To contact Dell for sales, technical support, or customer service issues:

1. Visit www.dell.com/support.

2. Select your support category.

3. Verify your country or region in the Choose a Country/Region drop-down menu at the top of page.

4. Select the appropriate service or support link based on your need.

Using Dell Update Packages

Dell provides a number of aids to help you determine whether or not the system requires an update. You can download DUP from dell.com/support/manuals. For more information, see Downloading DUPs .

NOTE: DUPs currently does not support every device type. DUPs will be available on additional devices in future releases.

Updating Packages Component and System Compatibility

You can run the DUP and read the summary information. This information is provided to help you determine whether the update is appropriate for the system and specific environment.

Executing DUPs in Linux Environment

You can run DUPs from the console in two modes:

• interactive

• non‑interactive

Interactive Mode

In the interactive mode, you issue a command, and the interface prompts you for permission to continue executing the command. When you execute a package interactively, it first displays a scrollable view of the release notes for the package. You may view these notes before continuing with the execution of the package.

DUP may be executed from a local console attached to the target system or from an administrator’s workstation by using a remote shell, such as the package in its simplest form by typing ./packagename.bin from the working directory, where packagename is the model and component‑specific name of the package. This syntax assumes that the .bin file has the appropriate permissions set and that a user account with root privileges executes the update. Once underway, the DUP will echo its progress and status to the console (stdout) and log its activity to /var/log/messages.

ssh

. Once a package has been delivered to the target system, administrators can execute

Non-Interactive Mode

Non‑interactive mode is essential when executing a script for applying DUPs to multiple systems. When applying DUPs to multiple systems, you cannot answer yes or no during script execution. the script specifies ‑q for non‑interactive mode; often script writers add ‑f for force and ‑r for reboot if a reboot is required for the type of update being performed.

In the following command example, the command applies a BIOS DUP without any user confirmation, forces the execution in the case of a downgrade from a more recent BIOS version, and reboots the system after the DUP is applied. This command is executed provided the DUP satisfies all the system and version requirements.

./PE2850-ESM_FRMW_LX_R92394.bin -q -f -r

For more information on the command line interface (CLI), see Command Line Interface Reference.

Verifying the Digital Signature

A digital signature is used to authenticate the identity of the signer of an Update Package and to certify that the original content is unchanged. Digital signature of DUPs gives you a more reliable and trustful method of authentication.

Verifying the digital signature ensures that the original Update Package was received correctly and that the content has not been modified since it was signed.

NOTE: This is applicable for both Windows and Linux Environment.

Verifying the Digital Signature on Linux

If you do not already have it installed on your system, you must install the Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) to verify a Linux DUP digital signature. To use the standard verification procedure, perform the following steps:

1. Get the Dell Linux public GnuPG key, if you do not already have it. You can download it by navigating to lists.us.dell.com and clicking the Dell Public GPG key link.

2. Import the public key to the gpg trust database by running the following command: gpg --import <Public Key Filename>

NOTE: You must have a private key to complete the process.

3. To avoid a distrusted-key warning, validate the public key by its fingerprint before you use it.

a) Type the following command: gpg --edit-key 23B66A9D b) Within the GPG key editor, type fpr. The following message appears: pub 1024D/23B66A9D 2001-04-16 Dell, Inc.

(Product Group) <linux‑security@dell.com> Primary key fingerprint: 4172 E2CE 955A 1776 A5E6 1BB7 CA77 951D 23B6 6A9D key. You can verify the key's owner in person, over the phone, or by any other means that guarantees that you

are communicating with the key's true owner. c) While still in the key editor, type sign. d) Answer the list of trust-validation questions that appears and create a passphrase to use as the secret key. You

must import and validate the public key only once.

4. Obtain the Linux DUP and its associated signature file from dell.com/support/manuals/downloads.

. If the fingerprint of the imported key is the same as the key owner's, you have a correct copy of the

NOTE: Each Linux DUP has a separate signature file, which is displayed along with the DUP. You need both the DUP and its associated signature file for verification. By default, the signature file is named the same as the DUP filename with a sign extension.

5. Verify the DUP using the following command: gpg --verify <

Update Package filename

Linux Update Package signature filename

> <

Linux

Executing DUPs in the Windows Environment

To run DUPs from the interactive graphical user interface (GUI), perform the following steps. This procedure applies to all Update Packages.

1. Execute the DUP by double-clicking the filename from within Windows Explorer.

2. Read the update information displayed in the DUP window.

3. Check the DUP inventory report for Package version and Installed Versions of component.

4. Click Install to install the DUP.

5. Reboot the system, if necessary.

To execute DUPs from the command line interface (CLI), see Command Line Interface Reference.

Verifying the Digital Signature on Windows

To verify the Update Package’s digital signature, perform the following steps:

1. Start Windows Explorer and locate the Update Package whose digital signature you want to verify.

2. Right-click the filename.

3. Click Properties in the pop-up menu.

4. In the Properties window, click the Digital Signatures tab. If this tab is not displayed, the Update Package is not

signed.

NOTE: If this tab is not displayed, the Update Package is not signed.

5. Select the signature from the signature list, and click Details.

NOTE: The signature is not verified until you click Details.

NOTE: The Digital Signature Details window appears.

6. Read the digital signature information to verify that the digital signature is OK.

7. Click OK to close the window.

Compatibility Concerns

DUPs are designed to confirm that all prerequisites are satisfied before applying the update to the system. Each DUP checks to ensure the following:

• The logged-on user has root privileges.

• The DUP to be applied in the command is compatible with the target system.

• The DUP to be applied in the command is compatible with the operating system running on the system.

• The device associated with the DUP is present on the system.

• The minimum required versions of related system software are running on the system.

DUPs are designed with built-in error handling capabilities to ensure that the preceding requirements are validated. If the conditions are not met, no update occurs. DUPs also check for dependencies between BIOS and certain ESM packages. The application design allows you to create groups of DUPs and apply them to a wide range of systems. Additionally, if you only want to verify that a given package can be applied to the system, you can invoke the package by using the following CLI command:

./Packagename.bin ‑c for Linux

packagename.exe /c /s for Windows

This command executes the dependency rules within the DUP, issues any warnings, exits without applying the update to the system, and writes the results to the console. You can also use the DUP to set an exit code to perform decisions within the scripts.

Effects of Applying the Updates on a Running System

This section describes all the effects of applying the updates on a Running System.

System Reboot Required

Certain packages, such as those that update the system BIOS, require a reboot for the new software to take effect. After you apply an update that requires a reboot, you must restart the system to complete the update.

You have the option of choosing to defer the reboot until another time as long as you do not turn off the system. This feature is primarily intended to allow you to apply any number of updates together and perform the system reboot after the last update has been applied. If this process is interrupted, for example, through a power interruption, you must repeat the updates. Therefore, it is recommended that you schedule updates for a time when the reboot can take place immediately after you apply the last update.

Saving Console Output for Linux

As the DUPs are executed, messages are printed to the console. To redirect console output, use the following syntax with interactive commands:

./packagename.bin|tee -a logname.lo

The |tee specifies the output from the DUP to be sent to both the console and to a log file. The ‑a switch make sure that the output is appended to a file, protecting any previous log file output from being overwritten.

Delivering DUPs to the Systems

The DUP application does not provide scheduling and delivery of the packages to multiple systems. You must rely on third‑party or native operating system applications to accomplish script execution and distribution on multiple systems.

Updating Many Systems

For large environments that consist of hundreds or perhaps thousands of systems, remote software distribution applications provide the best solution. Many of these tools can effectively leverage the DUP and provide the convenience of installing and updating a variety of software, such as operating systems and applications, in a heterogeneous environment.

Network file shares also are an effective method of making DUP accessible in a distributed environment. When a DUP begins execution, it first copies the contents of the package to a temporary location on the system’s local drive. This process ensures that the update can be completed even if the connection to the network share is lost for any reason.

Remote Terminal Sessions

In today's highly distributed environment, it is common for IT organizations to use remote access solutions, such as Microsoft Terminal Services, to gain access to their remote systems. You may use this type of solution to run DUPs.

NOTE: If the terminal session is disconnected during a NIC driver update, you will need to re-connect and verify that the update has completed successfully.

Stand-alone Systems and Firewalls

For systems that are not connected to the Internet or that have firewall which block user downloads, you need to download DUP from dell.com/support by using a system that has Internet access, such as desktop or portable computer. You can make DUP available to the system by copying them onto removable media that the system supports.

Confirming the Update

To ensure that DUPs were applied to the system, review the console output that was generated during execution. For detailed information about the messages, see Linux Troubleshooting.

If you want to revert to a previous (older) version of the software after updating to a newer version, you must download the appropriate DUP from dell.com/support/manuals and install it.

1. For Linux: To install the previous version from a script, use -q (unattended) mode. In addition, you must use the CLI -

f option, which forces the downgrade.

NOTE: If the system loses power during the update process, you must perform the updates again.

NOTE: DUPs for Linux can also be found in the repository on the that contains the updated BIOS, and firmware components for Dell systems. For more information, see the

Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide

2. For Windows: To install the earlier version from a script, use the /s (unattended) mode. In addition, you must use the

CLI /f option, which forces the downgrade. You are prompted to ensure that you want to install an earlier version.

Bootstrap firmware is a process where the latest BIOS or Firmware update RPMs for the system are downloaded from the repository, along with the utilities necessary to inventory and apply updates on the system.

Inventory Installed Firmware

You can also inventory the system for the list of existing versions of BIOS and firmware using the following CLI mode inventory command:

inventory_firmware

Updating BIOS and Firmware

After you have installed the firmware-tools and downloaded the applicable BIOS and firmware updates, you can update the BIOS and firmware on the system using the CLI or the GUI.

Updating BIOS and Firmware Using CLI

1. To inventory the system and scan the repository for new versions of components, run the following command: update_firmware

2. This command provides information about the existing versions of components on the system and the list of component versions that are available to be installed.

3. To install all applicable BIOS and firmware updates on the system, run the following command: update_firmware -yes

Once the devices are updated, the Execution Success message is displayed.

Updating BIOS and Firmware Using GUI

1. To start the interactive GUI, run the following command:inventory_firmware_gui

2. The Inventory and Update Firmware window displays the existing versions of components on the system and the component versions that are available to be installed.

3. To update BIOS and firmware on the system to the versions available in the repository:

a) Select the required devices to be updated and click Update Firmware. The Update Firmware dialog box is

displayed.

b) Continue to update page....To view the list of selected devices and their versions click Show Details.

c) Click . d) Click Update Now to start performing the updates. Once the devices are updated, the execution success

message is displayed for each device.

4. You can also perform the following:

a) If the system component version is higher than the version available in the repository, you can downgrade the

system components to the versions in the repository. In the Inventory and Update Firmware dialog box, select

the required components to downgrade and click Allow Downgrade. b) To re-install the component versions, select the required components and click Allow Reflash.

Automatically Update Firmware

By default, installing a BIOS or firmware RPM does not apply the update to the hardware. The update is manually applied using the update_firmware command. However, you can automatically update the hardware during RPM installation by configuring the /etc/firmware/firmware.conf file.

To automatically install BIOS and firmware updates, ensure that rpm_mode is set to auto in the firmware.conf file as shown:

[main]

# Automatically install BIOS updates when an RPM BIOS Update file is installed

# values: 'auto', 'manual'

# default: 'manual'

rpm_mode=auto

Viewing Log Information

The log information is stored in the firmware-updates.log file located at /var/log/ folder.

Update and Rollback in Lifecycle Controller Enabled Server

Dell Lifecycle Controller Enabled Server is an embedded configuration utility that enables systems and storage management tasks from an embedded environment throughout the system’s life cycle.

Residing on an embedded flash memory card, Lifecycle Controller is similar to a BIOS utility in that it can be started during the boot sequence and can function independently of an installed operating system.

Using Lifecycle Controller, you can quickly identify, download, and apply system updates without searching the Dell Support website. You can also configure the system BIOS and system devices (such as NIC, RAID, and iDRAC), deploy an operating system, and run diagnostics to validate the system and the attached hardware.

NOTE: Certain platforms or systems may not support the full set of features provided by Lifecycle Controller.

Update in Lifecycle Controller

You can update the system BIOS, iDRAC firmware, power supply firmware, RAID firmware, and NIC firmware. Use the wizard to display a list of available updates for the system.Platform Update

You can define a location to search for available updates from the following options:

1. The Dell File Transfer Protocol (FTP) system (ftp.dell.com). You can use a proxy system to access ftp.dell.com .

2. A USB device. When accessing updates from a local USB device, the USB device must be plugged in before selecting the Platform Update option in Lifecycle Controller. For more information on updating the platform, see the

Dell Life Cycle controller User Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals .

After you select the updates you want to apply, Lifecycle Controller downloads and applies the updates. If you decide to update any device in Lifecycle Controller, the update package of the corresponding device is downloaded. After successfully downloading, verifying, and extracting the DUPs, the corresponding devices are updated. If the update fails, error messages are displayed.

Rollback in Lifecycle Controller

You can update any component, for example BIOS, in both Lifecycle Controller and the operating system environment. After the update is successful in the operating system environment using DUPs, you can enter Lifecycle Controller and revert the component to the version that was previously installed before the update occurred.

Lifecycle Controller supports platform firmware rollback to the previous version. If the operating system has a non– functioning application because of a BIOS or firmware flash, reboot to Lifecycle Controller and roll back to the previous version.

NOTE: Only BIOS and firmware can be rolled back. The Lifecycle Controller application, the Dell Diagnostics application, and drivers needed for operating system installation cannot be rolled back to an earlier version.

If you have updated the system’s BIOS or firmware only once, the rollback feature offers the option of reverting to the factory-installed BIOS or firmware images. If you have updated the BIOS or firmware to multiple versions, the factoryinstalled images are overwritten and you cannot revert to them.

NOTE: Rollback is not supported in the operating system environment. To enable rollback, ensure that you boot into Lifecycle Controller.

The DUP is not applicable to the system. Some possible explanations are:

• The operating system is not supported by the DUP.

• The system is not supported by the DUP.

• The DUP is not compatible with the devices found in your system.

A QUAL_HARD_ERROR cannot be suppressed by using the /f switch.

The system is being rebooted.

The Linux DUP framework uses RPM verification to ensure the security of all DUP dependent Linux utilities. If security is compromised, the framework displays a message and an RPM Verify Legend, and then exits with exit code 9.

Linux Troubleshooting

This section describes possible troubleshooting steps related to Linux Operating System.

Known Issues

The issues listed below are known issues and corrective actions for Dell Update Packages (DUPs) for Linux operating systems. Also see the corresponding

NOTE: The readme.txt file, which is available at dell.com/support/manuals, provides the latest information regarding known issues.

Diagnostic Tasks Will Not Run While a DUP Reboot is Pending

If you try to run a diagnostic task and there are pending updates, the diagnostic task fails.

To resolve this, complete all pending updates, reboot the system and then run a diagnostic task.

Abnormal Termination of a DUP

A DUP may stop abruptly due to a power outage or abnormal termination.

To resolve this:

Readme for Linux

at dell.com/support/manuals.

1. Remove the lock file from the lock folder.

2. Type the command: rm -f /var/lock/.spsetup

3. Run the DUP again to reapply the update.

Error While Loading Shared Libraries

The following error may be displayed when you load shared libraries. Error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

To install the compatibility libraries, using the following command: RPM -ih compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm

Insufficient Free Physical Memory to Load the BIOS Image

BIOS updates require enough free physical memory to load the entire BIOS image into the physical memory. If there is insufficient free physical memory available on the system to load the BIOS image, the DUP for BIOS may fail. To resolve this, the BIOS can be updated using the diskette method, run the DUP after adding more memory or immediately after a reboot.

Kernel Panic While Running Storage Controller Firmware Update Packages

Linux systems running one or more applications that interact with SCSI devices in certain ways are known to cause a kernel panic situation.

To resolve this, stop the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management Service before running storage controller firmware DUPs.

Loss of Functionality While Renaming Linux DUPs

Linux DUPs can be executed even if they are renamed, but some functionality is lost. Renamed Linux DUPs with extensions that are in the Linux MIME (Multimedia Internet Message Extensions) database could fail to execute from various X‑Windows desktops, for example GNOME. In this case the desktop issues a file open error message indicating that the DUP cannot be opened. This occurs if a DUP with an uppercase .BIN extension is renamed to one having a lowercase .bin extension. The .bin extension has an entry in the Linux MIME database which leads to the file open error.

Yum Repository Management Software Caches Incorrect Repository Metadata

To resolve this, use one of the following methods:

For yum:

Run the yum clean all command to remove old metadata and retry updating the firmware.

DUPs Fail on 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System

If DUPs fail to run on a 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, manually install the following RPMs:

• compat-libstdc++-33.i686

• libstdc++-4.4.4-5.el6.i686

• libxml2.i686

NOTE: The RPMs are available on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 x64 media.

DUP Update of Firmware Might Fail While Running in the UEFI Mode

When Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or SLES11 is installed and booted in a UEFI environment, flashing firmware via DUP might fail after DUP reboots the system.

DUP relies on a warm reset to enable firmware flashing. In the UEFI mode, the kernel by default performs a cold reset.

Boot the system with the successfully. You could add this to /etc/grub.conf to be persistent across reboots.

NOTE: Using the reboot=w option as documented in the Linux Kernel documentation might cause a Kernel Panic to occur on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 while the system shuts down.

reboot=k

DUP Message Logs

Logging occurs when you run a command for a DUP. The logs maintain information about all update activities. DUPs write to the Messages log. If you install the same package more than once on the same system, the log is appended. The messages files directory contain messages about a wide range of events on the system. Therefore, you must scan through the log file to find the messages that are relevant to DUPs.

Message Location

The default location of the message log files is /var/log/dell/updatepackage/log.

Messages Log Files

The messages log file includes the following information

• Date and time the DUP was launched

• Package release ID number

• The full path and filename of the support log generated by the command

• DUP type

• DUP version

• Framework version of the DUP

• Note the software application name of the DUP

• Version of the currently installed DUP

• Version that the command is trying to apply to the system

• Exit code that results from execution of the command

• Whether a reboot was performed

NOTE: The support log files are intended for use by Dell support personnel. Dell encourages you to redirect the DUP output to a file of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Must I reboot my system after applying every Dell Update Package (DUP)?

Answer: DUPs that are running in the interactive mode determine if it is necessary to reboot the system. If so, you are prompted to reboot. In the silent unattended mode, the exit code is set to 2, which indicates that a system restart is required.

Question: Which operating systems are supported by DUPs?

Answer: The various Dell systems, the operating systems supported by these systems, and the Dell OpenManage components that can be installed on these systems.

Question: How do I perform updates if my operating system is not supported by DUPs?

Answer: For those operating systems that are not currently supported, you can perform updates by using the existing update formats from dell.com/support.

Question: I cannot locate a DUP on dell.com/support for my device. Where is it?

Answer: Make sure that you have provided all the required information for downloading DUPs, such as product category, product line, product model, download category, and operating system.

DUPs are not available for all devices. Dell will continue to make additional DUPs available for more devices in future releases. See the readme.txt file for a list of devices currently supported by DUPs.

Question: I'm using a software distribution tool to deploy my applications or operating system updates to my remote servers. Can I use DUPs with this tool to remotely update my servers?

Answer: DUPs are designed to work with most software distribution tools. For more information, see the documentation for the tool.

Question: Where can I find the error messages generated by a DUP that is running in unattended mode?

Answer: The execution messages are stored in the Package log file and in the Windows System Event Log (SEL), which are described in Messages Log Files section of this guide.

The Package log file resides in the following default directory: C:\dell\updatepackage\log\ packagename .txt

The Windows SEL is available through the Windows Event Viewer.

Question: When I execute a DUP from the command line prompt, I continue to see Windows dialog boxes and pop-up messages. Can I direct the output to the command line prompt console?

Answer: Use the /s and /l options to direct the output to the log files.

Question: How can I gain access to the DUP dependency information and other information?

Answer: This information is displayed on the initial graphical user interface (GUI) screen when you run the DUP.

Some information is also available by using the CLI/c/s options. (You must use the /c /s options together.) However, this method provides limited information, such as the version of the update and whether it is applicable for the target system.

Question: Can I use DUPs on other vendors’ systems?

Answer: No. DUPs are designed for use on Dell systems only.

Question: I recently updated the BIOS on my system and now I would like to go back to the previous version. Can I do this with DUP?

Dell Systems Software Support Matrix

available at dell.com/support/manuals has information about the

Answer: Yes. Download the DUP for the previous version of the system BIOS from dell.com/support and install it. If a DUP is not available, use one of the other formats on dell.com/support.

Question: Why does the DUP for the system BIOS require a reboot?

Answer: The BIOS update is applied only after you reboot the system.

Question: I'd like to apply several updates to my system at once. Can I do this with DUPs? Do I need to be concerned about the order in which I apply the updates?

Answer: Yes, you can apply multiple updates to the system at the same time. For information about the update order see

Installation Order of DUPs.

Question: If I rename Windows DUPs, will they still function correctly?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can I modify DUPs?

Answer: No. DUPs contain logic to guard against potential corruption of their contents. Because of this design, DUPs cannot be modified.

NOTE: If you modify the contents of DUPs, Dell will not support them.

Question: Can I use any other program to inspect or extract the contents of DUPs?

Answer: Yes, you can use WinZip or an equivalent software application.

NOTE: DUPs contain logic to guard against potential corruption of their contents. Because of this design, DUPs cannot be modified. If you modify the contents of DUPs, Dell will not support them.

Question: I am running a non-English version of Windows 2000. Can I use DUPs?

Answer: Yes. You can use DUPs on non-English versions of Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Currently, DUPs are available only in English.

Question: How will I know when there are new DUPs available for my systems?

Answer: You can check dell.com/support for updates or register for the File Watch Service at dell.com to receive automatic notification for upgrades to the system.

Question: Why do BIOS and firmware updates fail to re-apply (update to the same version), even when using the force (/f) option in CLI mode?

Answer: Re-installation of BIOS or firmware DUPs wastes valuable company time and resources. It accomplishes nothing. If you still wish to apply such an update, run DUPs in the GUI mode and confirm the re-application.

Question: Why does my system only execute one of the CLI options that I entered in a command string?

Answer: Only certain CLI options can be used simultaneously. When invalid combinations of CLI options are entered in a single command string, only the option with the highest priority is executed. For details on which commands can be used together for different operating System, see Command Line Interface Reference .

Question: How do I verify that the DUPs that I have downloaded has a digital signature?

Answer: In Windows Explorer, locate the DUP that you want to verify and right-click the filename. Click Properties in the pop-up window. If you see the Digital Signatures tab in the Properties window, the DUP has a digital signature. If that tab is not displayed, the DUP is not signed. See Verifying the Digital Signature on Windows for additional information.

Question: Why can’t I use a signed DUP with my current release of DUP?

Answer: DUPs released on 3rd quarter of 2005 and later are digitally signed.

Trusted Platform Module and BitLocker Support

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a secure microcontroller with cryptographic capabilities designed to provide basic security‑related functions involving encryption keys. It is installed on the motherboard of the system, and communicates with the rest of the system using a hardware bus. You can establish ownership of the system and its TPM through BIOS setup commands.

TPM stores the platform configuration as a set of values in a set of Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs). Thus one such register may store, for example, the motherboard manufacturer; another, the processor manufacturer; a third, the firmware version for the platform, and so on. Systems that incorporate a TPM create a key that is tied to platform measurements. The key can only be unwrapped when those platform measurements have the same values that they had when the key was created. This process is called sealed key is first created, the TPM records a snapshot of configuration values and file hashes. A sealed key is only

BitLocker mitigates unauthorized data access by combining two major data‑protection procedures:

• Encrypting the entire Windows operating system volume on the hard disk: BitLocker encrypts all user files and system files in the operating system volume.

• Checking the integrity of early boot components and the boot configuration data: On systems that have a TPM version 1.2, BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of the TPM and ensures that the data is accessible only if the system’s boot components are unaltered and the encrypted disk is located in the original system.

BitLocker is designed for systems that have a compatible TPM microchip and BIOS. A compatible TPM is defined as a version 1.2 TPM. A compatible BIOS supports the TPM and the Static Root of Trust Measurement. BitLocker seals the master encryption key in the TPM and only allows the key to be released when code measurements have not changed from a previous secure boot. It forces you to provide a recovery key to continue boot if any measurements have changed. A one‑to‑many BIOS update scenario results in BitLocker halting the update and requesting a recovery key before completing boot.

BitLocker protects the data stored on a system through stored on a system remains encrypted even if the system is tampered with when the operating system is not running and prevents the operating system from booting and decrypting the drive until you present the BitLocker key.

TPM interacts with BitLocker to provide protection at system startup. TPM must be enabled and activated before it can be used by BitLocker. If the startup information has changed, BitLocker enters recovery mode, and you need a recovery password to regain access to the data.

NOTE: For information on how to turn on BitLocker, see the Microsoft TechNet website. For instructions on how to activate TPM , see the documentation included with the system. A TPM is not required for BitLocker; however, only a system with a TPM can provide the additional security of startup system integrity verification. Without TPM, BitLocker can be used to encrypt volumes but not a secure startup.

NOTE: The most secure way to configure BitLocker is on a system with a TPM version 1.2 and a Trusted Computing Group (TCG) compliant BIOS implementation, with either a startup key or a PIN. These methods provide additional authentication by requiring either an additional physical key (a USB flash drive with a system‑readable key written to it) or a PIN set by the user.

NOTE: For mass BIOS updates, create a script that disables BitLocker, installs the update, reboots the system and then re‑enables BitLocker. For one‑to‑one Dell Update Package (DUP) deployments, manually disable BitLocker and then re‑enable it after rebooting the system.

NOTE: In addition to BIOS DUP, execution of firmware DUP for U320, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 5, SAS 6, Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) 5, PERC 6, and Cost Effective RAID Controller (CERC) 6 controllers is blocked on a system having a TPM version 1.2 chip, set at

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 User Account Control

In Microsoft Windows Server version 2008 and earlier, user accounts were often members of the local Administrators group and had access to administrator privileges. Members of the local Administrators group could install, update, and run software since an Administrator account has system-wide access. When a user was added to the local Administrators group, that user was automatically granted Windows privilege. These privileges provided access to all operating system resources. Hence, user accounts with Administrator privileges posed a security risk by providing access to operating system resources that could be exploited by malicious software (or malware).

User Account Control (UAC) is a new security feature in the Windows Server 2008 operating system. When enabled, it restricts access to critical system resources for all users except the built-in local Administrator.

The three types of user accounts in the Windows Server 2008 operating system are:

• Domain Administrator Account, is a user account with administrator privileges.

• Standard User Account, allows the user to install software and change system settings that do not affect other users or the security of the computer.

• Local Administrator Account, is the default super user of the operating system.

The user experience for a Domain Administrator Account differs from a Local Administrator Account when UAC is enabled. When a Domain Administrator Account requires access to critical system resources, the Windows Server 2008 operating system prompts for one of the following before launching a program or task that requires full administrator access:

• Permission to elevate privileges (in the case of a user in the Domain Administrators group)

• Domain administrator credentials to elevate privileges (in the case of standard users)

UAC prompts users in the Domain Administrators group (except the Administrator account) to click Continue, if they need to elevate privileges, or to click Cancel when performing functions that may entail a security risk. With UAC, users have to upgrade to an Administrator account before running DUPs.

NOTE: Since the user experience is configurable with the Security Policy Manager snap-in (secpol.msc) and with Group Policy, there are multiple UAC user experiences. The configuration choices made in environment will affect the prompts and dialogs seen by standard users, administrators, or both. UAC can be disabled by disabling the User Account Control: Run Administrators in Admin Approval Mode setting and requires a system reboot.

If a DUP is run in the GUI mode, the Windows Server 2008 operating system needs the user to permit the operation. But if a DUP is run in unattended mode, the user can bypass the popup window for permission by performing any of the following actions:

• Change the group security policy, User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode, to No Prompt to disable the popup or elevate privileges without prompting for the Administrators group.

• Disable UAC.

• Use scripts to run the DUP and impersonate yourself as a local administrator at runtime.

• Dell DUP HDD firmware update utility related to system memory utilization requires minimum of 8GB to 16GB RAM in the server.

UAC Restrictions When Running DUPs remotely

By default, after UAC starts, all Administrator Account users login as Standard Users. Thus, rights to access critical system resources are not available until the user confirms the privilege elevation request. This restriction disables the option to remotely deploy DUPs. UAC returns an Access Denied error if the management node agent runs on these login credentials.

You can bypass the UAC restrictions by:

• Enabling remote agent use of the Local System Account to perform a DUP update. The Local System Account is not protected by UAC (recommended option).

• Using the Local Administrator Account on each remote machine where the DUP is running.

• Disabling UAC for all users on remote machines (not a recommended option).

• Not upgrading to Administrator account on remote machines.

NOTE: Only two accounts (the Local Administrator Account and the Local System Account) are not protected by UAC. All other users including accounts with local administrator rights or domain administrator rights have UAC enabled by default. Even though UAC can be disabled by updating the local or domain security policy, it is not recommended. Remote users have to login as a built-in Local Administrator Account or obtain the Local System Account privilege to launch a DUP remotely.
