2016-10-25 Thread Philip Tait
Scenario: two R610s, both running CentOS 6.8, fully updated. One seems to be fine with a DSU run, reporting all firmware up to date (although it doesn't list the iDRAC, is that normal?) The other does this: # dsu Verifying catalog installation ... Installing catalog from repository ... Fetching

Poweredge servers running in low temperature environment
