About service pack updates
Once OMIMSSC is released, it is required to share any critical defect fixes or feature additions that are available as an upgrade
to the existing Appliance. You can update service packs and other updates for the OMIMSSC Appliance operating system and
OMIMSSC.
● You can place the service pack files directly in any HTTP server and use the service pack files for updates.
● You can incrementally apply these service packs; however, once applied you cannot roll them back.
● The service packs are cumulative, that is, the latest service pack has fixes from all the previous releases.
Service pack updates can be applied using two methods :
1. Update using offline package.
2. Update using online package. For more information, see linux.dell.com/repo/omimssc-scom.
