Dell Server Updates DVD
The Dell OpenManage subscription service kit is a collection of two DVDs:
•
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD
•
Dell Server Updates 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 up
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 in the docs
directory or on the Dell Support site at
support.dell.com .
