Comparison Report
SUU compares the component versions installed on the system with the component versions available in the repository
and displays the results in a Comparison Report with criticality levels.
Criticality Levels
The Criticality column in the Comparison Report denotes the importance of applying the update. For more information on
the criticality levels and their corresponding status, see the table below.
Criticality Level Status
Urgent
The update contains changes to improve the reliability and
availability of the Dell system.
It is recommended that you apply this update immediately.
Recommended
The update contains feature enhancements or changes
that help keep the system software current and
compatible with other system modules (firmware, BIOS,
drivers, and software).
It is recommended that you apply this update during the
next scheduled update cycle.
Optional
The update contains changes that impact only certain
configurations, or provides new features that may/may not
apply to the environment.
It is recommended that you review the update
specifications to determine if it applies to the system.
Inapplicable The update is not applicable on the system. The
component version on the system is the same as the
repository version and hence, no update is required.
