20 Introduction
Change Management
The Dell Server Updates DVD includes the Server Update Utility (SUU) and
is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems. SUU allows you
to identify and apply updates to your system. SUU is a dual-purpose
application and is easy to use. You can use SUU to update your Dell system or
to view the updates available for any system listed in the SUU Repository.
SUU facilitates change management by allowing you to update system
components. When you run SUU, it runs an inventory of installed components
and their versions and provides a comparison report between what is installed
currently on the system and what the latest component versions are in the SUU
Repository. You can select the packages you want to upgrade. You can roll back
newer versions of components on your system to the corresponding component
version contained on the Dell Server Updates DVD. For more information see
the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility USer’s Guide and also the
Subscription Service website at www.dell.com/openmanagesubscription.
