Dell Update Packages User's Guide

PDF

Interactive Mode

In the interactive mode, you issue a command, and the interface prompts you for permission to continue executing the command. When you execute a package in this mode, it first displays a scrollable view of the release notes for the package. You may view these notes before continuing with the execution of the package.

DUP may be executed from a local console attached to the target system or from an administrator’s workstation by using a remote shell, such as ssh. Once a package has been delivered to the target system, administrators can execute the package by performing the following:
  • Type ./packagename.bin from the working directory.
    • NOTE: Where packagename is the model and component‑specific name of the package
  • Ensure that the .bin file has the appropriate permissions set and that a user account with root privileges to executes the update.
  • The progress and status is displayed to the console (stdout) and log its activity to /var/log/messages.
