Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Hi Henrik, The Current BIOS DUP C6MRW which you are using is very old, and it doesn't support RHEL7/CenOS7. It supports only RHEL5/RHEL6.
We have fix in place for RHEL7/CenOS7 a year back, I'm NOT sure whether those latest DUP's got released for 11G. Let me check with BIOS team internally & come back.

This fixed this issue! A second issue has appeared. We have multiple R610's with 48GB of RAM each. When I try to update them I get the error: Enough contiguous physical memory is not available to perform the BIOS update running under this Operating System. Reboot and try again. (See below.) Any ideas how to fix this? 48GB should be enough memory and the system is quiescent with nothing running. It does say something about "contiguous physical memory", but I am not sure how to address that issue.

Here the DUP is checking for usb-storage driver whether its loaded or NOT, if NOT they are just quitting as reported below. Meanwhile I would request you to use the workaround as described below. Workaround: 1. Modprobe usb-storage 2. Install the Diagnostics_Application_5W2KP_LN64_OSC_1.1_X10-00 Regards Balaji Singh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:54:25 -0500 From: Henrik Schmiediche Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] PE R620, DSU and USB issue To: Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com<mailto:Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com> Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" We are running PowerEdge Server R620 with CentOS 7.
