Continuing With the Upgrade, Downgrade,
or Update
Select the packages you want to upgrade. You can also downgrade newer
versions of components on your system to the corresponding component
version contained in the Dell Server Updates DVD. For more information
about downgrading components, see "Downgrading Components".
CAUTION: Do not remove the Dell Server Updates DVD from the DVD drive when
you are running SUU.
NOTE: When you perform an upgrade, downgrade, or update, SUU copies all the
update packages into a temporary directory on the system. The directory is
<
%systemdrive% >:\dell\suu in Microsoft Windows and /var/log/dell/suu in Linux.
SUU deletes this temporary directory after the update/upgrade/downgrade process
is complete. If a reboot is required to complete the update/upgrade/downgrade
process, the directory is saved until the reboot process is complete.
Checking the SUU Version
From SUU 2.0.0 onwards, when you launch SUU, a warning message is
displayed if you are not using the latest SUU version and if a version newer
than your current version is available.
Figure 2-5. Version Warning
NOTE: The warning message is displayed only if you are running an older version
of SUU.
You can download the latest version of SUU from the Dell Support site at
support.dell.com. However, if you want to continue using your current
version, click OK to continue.
