Dell OpenManage change management software is a set of tools enables you to update Dell systems easily. It is also an efficient way to manage
hardware, software, and operating system updates.
Dell OpenManage change management software comprises of:
Dell Update Packages
A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format. Each Update Package is designed to update a
single software component on a Dell system.
Dell Update Packages allow administrators to update a wide range of system components simultaneously and apply scripts to similar sets of
Dell systems to bring system software components up to the same version levels.
For more information on DUPs, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/manuals.
Server Update Utility
Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based application for identifying and applying updates to a Dell system. You can use
SUU to update your Dell system or to view the updates available for any system supported by SUU.
SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on your system with update components packaged on the Dell Server Updates
DVD. SUU then displays a comparison report of the versions and provides the option of updating the components.
For more information on SUU, see the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: Server Update Utility is used for server updates and may not work on newly released Dell systems that do not receive any server
updates.
