Systems Management Using Dell OpenManage 23
To upgrade the system or device firmware or BIOS using ITA, you must create
a software update task. To create a software update task:
1
Download the corresponding BIN and .sign files from support.dell.com .
2 In the ITA console, add the Dell Update Package to the ITA repository in
the
Manage  Software Updates tab.
3 Create a task for Software Update and provide the required host details.
NOTE: ITA uses the SSH port for installation of the Dell Update Packages.
Ensure that SSH is enabled on the XenServer host. If disabled, you can enable
SSH from XenServer local console Remote Service Configuration
Enable/Disable Remote Shell.
You can also upload the update package to the XenServer host using a file
transfer program and then run the package. Log in to the XenServer host as a
root user and perform the following steps:
1
Upload the update package (*.BIN file) to /var/tmp .
2 Login to the XenServer local console shell.
3 Run the BIN file that you downloaded.
4 Follow the instructions provided by the update package.
5 Reboot the system if required by the update package.
For more information on using Dell Update Package with ITA, see the
Dell OpenManage ITA documentation at support.dell.com/manuals.
Removing OpenManage
It is strongly recommended that you do not remove the OpenManage
supplemental packs or RPMs. Manually removing any RPM leaves the system
in an inconsistent state and makes any potential debugging effort difficult or
impossible.
A future release (when available) will support the removal of the
OpenManage supplemental pack.
