Supported Dell OpenManage Change
Management Software
Dell OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that allows you to update Dell systems
easily. It is also an efficient way to manage hardware, software, and operating system updates.
Change Management software can be monitored or managed in-band using OpenManage Server
Administrator 8.0.1 or out-of-band management using iDRAC8.
Dell OpenManage change management software comprises of:
• Dell Update Packages (DUPs)
• FTP Catalog
• Dell Update Packages v14.05.00 — 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 at dell.com/
support/manuals.
• FTP Catalog — With Dell Repository Manager, you can use the FTP catalog, which 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.
