Creating Bootable CD or USB Keys For Updates

You can create bootable USB keys for updates, using any third party or free tool. You can start your managed system by

the bootable CD or USB storage. After the system starts up, it automatically runs the selected updates. After the update

is complete, you can remove the CD or USB storage, and reboot the system to your host operating system.

You can use the bootable ISO to apply the updates if:

• You have a server running an operating system that is not supported by Dell Repository Manager, such as

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), Solaris, or older versions of Microsoft Windows, RedHat Linux or SUSE

Linux.

• You are using Linux versions such as Ubuntu or Debien.

• You prefer to do your updates (regardless of OS) in an out-of-band method.

To create bootable USB keys, using the tool - UNetBootIn as an example:

1. Download the UNetBootIn for Windows available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/.

2. Run the Dell Repository Manager and generate the bootable ISO.
