Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. I’m sure it sounds like a completely valid suggestion from your point of view but for us with hundreds or thousands of machines it isn’t the most convenient one. A lot of people have come to rely on dell omsa work across upgrades ☺ Kaj From: linux-poweredge-boun...@dell.com [mailto:linux-poweredge-boun...@dell.com] On Behalf Of soorej_ponna...@dell.com Sent: Tuesday, May 3, 2016 16:12 To: bouti...@ednet.ns.ca; linux-powere...@lists.us.dell.com Subject: Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] Automatic Updates Broken With Repo Change Dell - Internal Use - Confidential All, It is suggested to move from deprecated Dell Linux Repository (DLR) to the Dell System Update (DSU) repository, which is refreshed with latest content every month. After moving from DLR to DSU, uninstall the existing OMSA and install fresh from latest DSU repository.
