Re: DSU - Not enough contiguous physical memory and sasdupie

Hi DELL,
Any news fixing this issue? I've tried DSU BIOS update on R620 (Centos7)
and it failed with the same error
*Not enough contiguous physical memory and sasdupie*
Is there at least some workaround to get it do the update?
(and BTW linux .BIN file also fails with same error)
