系统上升级bios

系统上升级bios，环境：dell 服务器

DSU升级，又称DELL EMC System Update,支持Linux和windows操作系统，主要可用于一下方面：

1.BIOS和fireware升级

2.OpenManager 软件

This release of DELL EMC System Update (DSU) supports the following new features and operating systems:

• Creating a Bootable ISO using script
• Option to display Criticality of the Updates
• Network capability for DSU on RedHat and SUSE based Operating Systems
• New BIOS and Firmware updates

Known Issues:

• In Platforms with OS Collector (version OSC_1.1) installed, DSU Comparison report will show as Downgrade to OS Collector 2.0
  Advice: Apply the OS Collector 2.0 update through DSU, though DSU shows it as Downgrade.

这是dell官网的原话，支持系统级别的BIOS升级，优势是系统级别升级，不用现场在服务器前倒腾，但劣势是升级后如果有问题那必须去现场。下面贴一段dell官网的话。
