Upgrading system components
SUU compares the version of the components installed on the system with the versions available in the repository. If the system
component versions are earlier than the repository version, SUU enables the Upgrade button on the upper right corner of the
Comparison Report.
To upgrade the repository components:
1. Select the components that you want to upgrade.
2. Click Upgrade to apply the components that you have selected.
3. In the Confirm Update dialog box, click Yes to confirm and continue or No to cancel.
While upgrading the components, SUU displays an update report. After completion, SUU displays an Update Complete
dialog box.
4. Click OK.
The status of the upgrade is reflected in the Comparison Report.
NOTE:
When you perform an upgrade, SUU copies all the update packages into a temporary directory on the system: <
%systemdrive%>:\dell\suu , on systems running Microsoft Windows operating system and /var/log/dell/suu , on systems
running Linux operating systems. SUU deletes this temporary directory after the upgrade process is complete. If a restart is
required to complete the upgrade process, the directory is saved until the restart process is complete.
Downgrading System Components
SUU compares the components installed on the system with the component versions available in the repository. If the system
component versions later than the repository versions, SUU enables the Enable Downgrade button on the upper right corner
of the Comparison Report.
To downgrade the repository components:
1. Select Enable Downgrade.
SUU disables Enable System Set Update and selects only those component versions that are later than the repository
version to downgrade.
2. Select Downgrade. All downgradeable components are automatically selected.
3. In the Confirm Update dialog box, click Yes to confirm and continue or No to cancel.
While downgrading the components, SUU displays an update report. After completion, SUU displays an Update Complete
dialog box.
4. Click OK.
The status of the downgrade is reflected in the Comparison Report.
