Release summary
Dell EMC Update Manger plugin (UMP) is an integrated solution for OpenManage Enterprise that allows IT Administrators to
create and manage repositories for PowerEdge devices that are managed in OpenManage Enterprise which run iDRAC or a
Windows operating system.
A repository consists of system bundles and their associated Dell Update Packages (DUP). A system bundle is a software
collection that can be grouped to arrange the related updates that are applicable to same target platform and having the same
format. A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format that updates a specific
software element on a Dell server or storage such as the BIOS, a device driver, firmware, and other similar software updates.
These bundles and repositories allow the deployment of multiple firmware updates at once. Update Manager supports Dell EMC
Update Packages (DUPs) in .EXE format.
Using Update Manager keep your systems up to date with the latest firmware and software by:
● Keeping the repositories up to date for updating the systems.
● Allowing manual or automatic updates of a catalog present in a repository.
● Customizing a repository by importing or deleting update packages.
● Generating a baseline for a repository which can be used to update firmware of the components in the repository.
Priority and recommendations
Dell EMC recommends the customer to review specifics about the update to determine if it applies to your system. The
update contains changes that impact only certain configurations, or provides new features that may or may not apply to your
environment.
Key features
● Create custom repositories using the device inventory from OpenManage Enterprise.
● Delete components or bundles from a repository.
● Import components to a repository.
● Update repositories when new content is available at dell.com or in an offline source.
