Updating the OpenManage Enterprise version
The Update Settings (Application Settings > Console and Extensions) can be configured to either automatically or manually check for
the availability of new updates and to specify if the appliance needs to check for updates available online at https://downloads.dell.com/
openmanage_enterprise or from a local repository set by the Administrator.
When configured to automatically, the appliance checks for the availability of the updates every Monday. If a new version is available, a
banner with the new upgrade version information is displayed. On the banner, user can choose to dismiss the notification, be reminded
later, or can click View Now to know details such as the version and size of the update available on the Application Settings > Console
and Extensions page.
Click Update on the Console and Extensions page to view the new features and enhancements of the available update and then click
Download Updates to initiate an update.
NOTE:
For more detailed information about updating OpenManage Enterprise to the latest version, see the Upgrade the
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise appliance version technical white paper on the support site.
Before updating to the latest version, ensure that you:
• Take a VM snapshot of the console as a backup in case something unexpected occurs. (Allocate more downtime for this, if
necessary).
• Allocate at least an hour for the update process. Allocate more time if the update must be downloaded by using a slower network
connection.
• Ensure that no device configuration tasks or deployment tasks are running or are scheduled to run during the planned downtime.
