Hi guys,
It seems like the repo is updated now :
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/
but I don't see the new BIOS, at least the one for R630 / R730 servers :
it is listed in the changelog :
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/changelog.html
R730 BIOS
New : BIOS_78R68_LN_2.7.0.BIN
Old : BIOS_KGTJ5_LN_2.6.0.BIN
There is no file named BIOS_78R68_LN_2.7.0*.rpm in the repo :
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/os_independent/noarch/
but there is still the old BIOS file in the file
BIOS_KGTJ5_LN_2.6.0-2.6.0-18.01.00.noarch.rpm
So, is it a problem with my company's internet proxy, or on your side ?
Bye.

available as soon as possible.
Thanks,

The DSU repository is refreshed once in every month. I believe the

Oh come on, seriously?
Don't you guys think that the current situation is serious enough to
warrant a repository update a bit sooner? I mean, even Microsoft
released their patches out of their usual Patch Tuesday release cycle.
Please don't invoke quality control or any kind of testing, we all
know here from experience that it's not DSU's strong suit...
It's especially damning because here, DSU is trying to revert an
updated BIOS to a vulnerable version. It's both insulting when
sysadmins took care of manually updating the BIOS, and just awkward
for brand new servers that are delivered with up-to-date firmware.
In that specific case, DSU does not just cause annoyances or mere
technical issues, it actually makes server vulnerable (again!) to the
most serious security issue the industry faced in years, which should
be treated with the utmost importance by the DSU engineering teams,
not dismissed as yet another regular firmware update.
Message to Dell management: do you guys have any plans to make your
server firmware management tools usable again? Right now, they're a
liability to both your customers and your brand. Please let us know
when you finally decide to address the year-long outstanding issues
with that "tool", whereas they're out-of-date firmware in the
repository, month-long delays to fix reported issues, or just plain
broken behavior, and we'll consider buying Dell servers again.
Cheers,
