Supported Dell OpenManage Change

Management Software

Dell OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that 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

• Server Update Utility

• FTP Catalog

• Dell Update Packages v14.05 - A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a

standard package format. Each DUP is designed to update a single software component on a Dell

system.

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.

For more information on DUPs, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide available on the Dell Support

website at www.dell.com/support/manuals.

• Server Update Utility v14.10 - Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based

application for identifying and updating Dell systems. You can use SUU to update your Dell system or

to view the available updates for any system supported by SUU.

SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on your system with the components 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 at

www.dell.com/support/manuals.

NOTE: SUU is used for server updates and may not work on newly released Dell systems that do not

receive any server updates.

• FTP Catalog - With Repository Manager, you can use the FTP catalog, which you contains the support

for n and n-1 blocks. For more information about the supported system models for the FTP catalog,

see ftp.dell.com/cmsdk/PDK_Readme.doc.
