Overview
Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Update Utility (SUU) is an application that
identifies and applies updates to your system. You can use SUU to update your
Dell system or to view the updates available for any system supported by SUU.
SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on your system
with the update components packaged on the Dell Server Updates DVD.
SUU then displays a comparison report of the versions and provides the
option of updating the components.
NOTE: Only users with administrator (Microsoft
®
Windows
®
) or root (Linux)
privileges can perform updates with SUU.
What’s New in This Release?
From SUU 2.0.0 onwards, IPMI drivers are installed as part of the Linux
operating system installation. You cannot install IPMI drivers using SUU.
Also, SUU does not check for IPMI driver installation.
