Dell Server Update Utility

Hello I have been running Dell Server Update Utility(22.07.00) for about 1 hour now and 4 of the 20 updates are constantly saying "not started' with the dots next to it indicating it's waiting. Most say Successful or Reboot required, is it normal to take over an hour? Should I attempt to reboot?

 

Thanks very much

    Hi, What is your OS? You may need OMSA reinstallation.

    Can you share the screenshot of SUU screen where it is showing "not stared" for these packages.

    Hello,

    BIOS, Backplane Expander F/W, Video Driver. All others are successful or "reboot required".

    Can I reboot the server and let the pending ones update safely?

     

    thanks in advance

    Can you let me know which are the four components which pending? You can finish remaining update and try again. If pending update are firmware and not driver, You can also try update the firmware using iDRAC

    It has three dots cycling through against the updates that say "not started". I presume it will install the updates it can if I reboot and just simply fail on those other four. But I would love to get your opinion before I do anything, thank you

    Hi, this is an unusual behavior and I think this would be best handled with an official ticket raised. Could you please refer to the link below for deeper dive?
