Re: dsu on red hat 7?

Rich,

	DSU repository is refreshed once in every month. Any update released in Dell Support page, after the DSU repository-refresh will be included in the next month's DSU repository. Since DSU has its own dev/test cycle, making updates available immediately upon its release, is not feasible as of now. But, we will consider your feedback, and work towards reducing the release cadence in future.

Thanks for the reply - It appears that this was due to network issues at Dell yesterday - the network was down for 5 - 6 hours at least.  This happened not only from our site but a connection from TACC didn't appear to work either.
It appears that mirrors are being worked on but not a reality.

I have attached the output from the collector nonetheless.

Also as you might see there is a newer release of the BIOS which I had already downloaded from the Dell Support page manually - is there a way to get the latest updates using dsu - this would be very helpful especially for newer equipment which we're installing that have significant fixes e.g. for Broadwell processors.

Thanks,
