About the Dell Patch Management Solution
The Dell Patch Management solution provides the following:
• Support for individual and system update sets updates.
For convenience and efficiency, it is recommended that you create bundle
rollout jobs. Bundle rollout jobs distribute entire software update sets,
or bundles, as opposed to a single DUP.
• Support for rollback updates on servers with Lifecycle Controller. You can
only rollback to the previous update.
• Support for the Dell PowerEdge™ systems running supported Microsoft
®
Windows
®
and Linux operating systems.
• Support for the Dell PowerEdge systems with Lifecycle Controller enabled
patch updates independent of an operating system.
• Support for the single server jobs for discovering a Dell system and
updating the Dell server to a level required to receive updates.
