Dell Patch Management Solution 143
Staging and Distributing DUPs
You can stage and distribute bundles from the Manage Dell Hardware
Updates page, where all available bundles are listed. When you stage a
bundle, all associated DUPs are downloaded from the Dell website at
ftp.dell.com to the Dell Management Console system and selecting distribute
enables you to deploy and update the bundles to the selected systems. You
can also download DUPs from a local storage (for example, the Dell Server
Updates DVD).
You can filter DUPs by Dell system types, operating systems, severity, and
group.
To stage and distribute all displayed DUPs:
