Use with custom offline repository created with Dell Repository Manager
DSU can update a system based on a custom-built Server Update Utility (SUU) offline repository exported from Dell Repository
Manager (DRM):
● Build a bundle of desired DUPs using DRM in a custom repository or choose a Dell-defined system bundle from the Dell
Online Catalog tab.
● Select the checkbox of each desired bundle then click the Create Deployment Tools button.
● Choose Create Server Update Utility (SUU) and then SUU to Directory.
● Choose Generate 64-bit SUU.
● Browse for a directory to begin the export then click Finish.
Once the export task for the SUU image has completed then issue the following:
Linux Operating System:
dsu --source-type=REPOSITORY --source-location= ="<path_to_suu> repository" --ic-
location="<path_to_suu>/bin/Linux/invcol
Microsoft Windows Operating System:
dsu --source-type=REPOSITORY --source-location=="<path_to_suu> Repository" --ic-
