Re: DSU and how it uses yum

Dell Customer Communication
DSU handles the OMSA update, what Soorej means here is we use the RPMs delivered by the OMSA team as is.
We will work with OMSA team to how best to handle this and get back.

Thanks,
Kalyan.

The dsu utility DOES handle OMSA upgrades:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@host ~]# dsu
Getting System Inventory...
Determining Applicable Updates...

|-----------Dell System Updates-----------|
[ ] represents 'not selected'
[*] represents 'selected'
[-] represents 'Component already at repository version (cannot be selected)'
Choose: q - Quit without update, c to Commit, - To Select/Deselect, a - Select All, n - Select None



[-]12 OpenManage Server Administrator
Current Version : 8.2.0 same as : 8.2

Enter your choice: q
[root@host ~]#
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>From other posts on this list it seems that when an admin tells dsu to upgrade OMSA it will upgrade the entire system. That needs to be fixed ASAP. I handle OMSA upgrades via yum usually long before I get a chance to run dsu on any particular system so it hasn't caused me a problem. But others have had a much worse experience.
