Thank you. 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.

Regards,
      - Henrik*

Hi Henrik,

Yeah this is a known issue in DUP, which got fixed in latest one.

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

We are running PowerEdge Server R620 with CentOS 7. When using DSU all components, we get the error message in regards to USB not being enabled:

* Inventory Failure: USB is not enabled. Please enable USB and try
update again*

Except USB are enabled in the BIOS. How do I fix this?

The issues appears to be in the OS Collector.

[*]9 OS Collector
Current Version : 0 Upgrade to : OSC_1.1

Everything else updated(d) just fine.
