This Update Package is not compatible with your system Your system: <Model Name> System(s) supported by this package: <Model Name>	Select a compatible DUP, and try the update again.
This Update Package cannot be executed under the current operating system.	DUPs supports Linux operating systems and kernels supported by the -- rebuild option.
This Update Package is not compatible with any of the devices detected in your system.	Select a compatible DUP for the device(s) you want to update, and try again.
The prerequisite software version for this update was not found. Software application name: <name> Current version:<version> Required version: <version>	The DUP you selected cannot be installed because a prerequisite requirement was not met. Install the appropriate prerequisite software version, and try the update again.
You must use the -f option to continue with the update in the non‑interactive mode.	The version of this DUP is either older than or the same as the version installed. To apply the DUP, you must force execution.
The software to be updated was not found. Install the following software, and then retry the update. Software name: <name> Required version: <version>	The system does not contain the software that matches the DUP.
The version of this Update Package is newer than the currently installed version. Software application name: <name> Package version: <version> Installed version: <version>	This message confirms the version of the currently installed software before the update is performed. (Using the interactive mode) Type Y or N when prompted to continue. (Using the CLI) Specify the -f option.
The version of this Update Package is older than the currently installed version. Software application name: <name> Package version: <version> Installed version: <version>	The DUP you selected cannot be installed because a newer version of the software already exists on the system. To install the older version: (Using the interactive mode) Type Y or N when prompted to continue. (Using the CLI) Specify the -f option.
The version of this Update Package is the same as the currently installed version. <version> Software application name: <name> Package version: <version> Installed version: <version>	The DUP you selected cannot be installed because the same version of the software already exists on the system.

This package is not compatible with the version of Server Agent on your system. You must upgrade to Server Administrator before running this package.	Use an alternative update method from dell.com/support/manuals.
This update package requires an OpenIPMI driver. Currently no OpenIPMI driver is installed on the system.	The DUP you selected cannot be installed because you do not have the OpenIPMI driver installed on the system.
In order to assist in the <update\|install>, you can download and install a version of the OpenIPMI driver that meets the minimum version requirement from dell.com/support/manuals. The minimum version required is <version>.	Download and install the minimum required OpenIPMI driver from dell.com/support/manuals.
This Update Package requires a newer version of the OpenIPMI driver than is currently installed on the system, which is version <version>.	The OpenIPMI driver that is currently installed on the system does not meet the minimum version requirements of the selected DUP.
Kernel source for the running kernel is not installed, and the currently installed OpenIPMI driver RPM was installed without the kernel source for the running kernel. In order to install OpenIPMI driver modules for the running kernel that meet the minimum version requirement, you must install kernel source for the running kernel, and then use DKMS (see man page for dkms) to install and build OpenIPMI driver modules for the running kernel. To install kernel source for the running kernel, install the <filename> RPM that is applicable to the running kernel.	Install the kernel source for the running kernel, and then use the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) framework to install and build the OpenIPMI driver modules for the running kernel. You must install the kernel source by installing the .rpm file required by the kernel. For information on using DKMS, see the man page for DKMS from linux.dell.com/dkms/manpage.html.
You must reboot the system for the update to take effect.	If you shut down or power off the system after performing an update, you will lose the update. After performing a BIOS update, do not power off the system. Reboot the system for the update to take effect.
An Update Package is already running. Wait until it is complete before proceeding with another update.	You can run only one DUP at a time.
