servers and node components of HCI and

Failover clusters

By using OpenManage Integration with Windows Admin Center, you can view the update compliance details (firmware, driver, application,

and BIOS) of the PowerEdge servers and nodes in a HCI and failover clusters. To view the update compliance details, you must perform

the following actions:

1. In the Settings tab, specify the system update location information. The OpenManage Integration uses the Dell EMC System Update

Utility (DSU) and Dell EMC Inventory Collector (IC) to fetch the firmware details of the devices. For more information on downloading

the required applications and configuring the update tools setting, see Configure the update compliance tools setting. The supported

versions of the DSU and IC utilities for OpenManage Integration version 1.0 are:

• DSU version: 1.7.0

• IC version: 19_04_200_472

2. Under Update Compliance > Update Source, specify the share location path where the catalog files are placed. The catalog files

can be generated by using the Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) application. To generate the compliance report of S2D ready

nodes, it is recommended that WSSD catalog files are used. For more information on latest update compliance information of the

devices, see Generate the update compliance information of PowerEdge servers and node components of HCI and Failover clusters.

In the Notifications section of the Windows Admin Center, you are notified if a new catalog file is available in the provided share location.

To get the latest update compliance report, run the compliance again by clicking the Re-run Compliance button. If a new catalog path is

provided, the previous path used to compute the update compliance will not be available.
