Issue 33:

Description

If you select an MSP package to update major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator, (for

example, version 6.x to version 7.x) the task displays the status as successful and the details indicate that

the software update is complete. However you can notice that the update was never completed. This

occurs because the MSP is only supported while updating minor versions. For example, 6.3 to 6.5 or 7.0

to 7.1. For more information about the valid packages that can be used to update OpenManage Server

Administrator, see OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Resolution:

While updating major versions of OpenManage Server Administrator make sure that the MSI package is

used.
