Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility
Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) is an application that contains a collection of updates, inventory collector and update applicator. When you
run SUU on a target system, it determines which updates are appropriate and apply the ones that are applicable.
SUU can be downloaded from support.dell.com or a custom SUU can be created using Dell Repository Manager (DRM). The SUU
available on support.dell.com includes all the updates for all currently supported PowerEdge platforms. With DRM you can create a custom
SUU with only the updates for systems in your data center.
For complete information, see Dell Server Update Utility User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
Dell OpenManage Linux Repository
The Dell OpenManage Linux Repository (DLR) provides updates in RPM format. Dell System Update (DSU) is a Linux CLI optimized tool for
identifying and applying the appropriate Linux updates.
You can run DSU directly on the target system with a highly customizable script or it can be packaged together with a Bootable ISO to
provide a customizable out-of-band update tool.
