10. For out-of-band update only—If you experience failures while performing updates using the iDRAC, select Before update, reset
the iDRAC.
CAUTION: If the Before update, reset the iDRAC option is selected, all iDRAC jobs that are currently in the queue are
deleted before the update is applied. If required, you must create the jobs again.
11. Enter the administrator credentials of the operating system or iDRAC for the target device.
NOTE: For applying system updates on target systems running a Windows operating system with the User Account
Control (UAC) feature enabled:
• If the target system is part of a Domain, you must provide the credentials of either the Domain Administrator or a
member in the Administrators group. Do not provide the credentials of the local, non-domain account on the target
system, even if the account is in the Administrators group.
• If the target system is not part of a Domain, you must provide the Administrator credentials. If you want to provide the
credentials of a non-default Administrator account, ensure that the Remote WMI permissions are enabled for that
user account.
Examples: In a Windows domain environment, enter <Domain\Administrator> and password. In a Windows workgroup
environment, enter <LocalHost\Administrator> and the password.
In a Linux environment, enter root and password. If you want to apply system updates using sudo, select Enable Sudo and
update the SSH port number.
NOTE: Before you apply system updates using sudo, create a user account, edit the sudoers le using the visudo
command, and add the following:

Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar,/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omexec,/tmp/
LinuxPreInstallPackage/runbada,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage/omexec,/tmp/invcol.bin
<sudo_username> ALL=OMEUPDATE,NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE
For target systems running a 64-bit operating systems:

LinuxPreInstallPackage64/runbada,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/omexec,/tmp/
invcol64.bin <sudo_username> ALL=OMEUPDATE,NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE
NOTE: Applying system updates using sudo is not supported for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server targets.
