Integrating SUU With Dell OpenManage IT Assistant

Dell OpenManage IT Assistant (ITA) provides a central point of access to monitor and manage systems on a local area

ITA allows you to load individual Dell Update Packages (DUPs) or complete system bundles into the central repository

and compare the package versions.

You can update systems that are not in compliance by using SUU, either immediately or according to a schedule you

define.

NOTE: You can customize the view of the package information by operating system, device name, component

name, and software type.
