Update groups

Update groups are a group of servers that require similar update management. There are two types of update groups available:

• Predened update groups—you can only view the servers in the group.

You cannot create, modify, or delete the predened update groups manually.

• Custom update groups—you can create, and maintain servers in the group.

NOTE

: All server groups that exist in SCVMM are listed in OMIMSSC since it is not user-specic. Make sure you have access to

perform any operations on those servers.

Predened update groups

The description and behavior of the predened update groups are as follows:

Generic update groups—this group consists of hosts and unassigned servers that are updated in a single session.

All update groups—this group consists of all the server groups. Any group present in the OMIMSSC is a member of the all update groups.

This group is of the type generic update group.

Default unassigned server update group—this group consists of all the unassigned servers that are not part of any other group. This

group is of the type generic update group. The servers are added to the default unassigned server update group after:

• A fresh discovery or rediscovery of bare metal servers.

• A synchronization or resynchronization, after it is deleted from SCVMM but present in the OMIMSSC Appliance.

Cluster update group—this group consists of the Windows Server Failover clusters. If a modular server belongs to a cluster, then it is

added to the cluster update group. If a 12th or 13th generation of Dell PowerEdge modular server is part of cluster, then the CMC

information is also added in the inventory in the Maintenance Center page.

To know about the cluster update group to which a server belongs to, see the Congutation and Deployment page where the host name

and cluster FQDN is displayed for all the servers listed in OMIMSSC.

Host update group—this group consists of host servers, and updates are applied in a single session, wherein, a single session is updating all

servers within the group at once.
