Dell Server Updates DVD

The Dell Server Updates DVD is a part of the Dell OpenManage subscription service kit along with the Dell Systems Management Tools

and Documentation DVD. The Dell Server Updates DVD is available only to those customers who have subscribed to the subscription

service.

The Dell Server Updates DVD contains Dell Update Packages (DUPs) and Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU). DUPs 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 to the same version levels.

SUU is an application that identifies and applies updates to your system. You can use SUU to update your Dell system or to view the

updates available for any system supported by SUU.

In addition to helping you install, configure, and update programs and operating systems, the Dell Server Updates DVD also provides newer

versions of software for your system.

For more information on DUPs and SUU, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility

User's Guide respectively at support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/omswrels.

For more information on the subscription service, see dell.com/openmanagesubscription or contact your sales representative.
