Installation
SUU is a stand-alone application that runs directly from a DVD. For more information on installing SUU,
see the "Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide."
Note: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges can perform updates
with SUU.
Notes
It is recommended that you review the update procedure to determine if it applies to the system. The
update contains changes that may impact only certain configurations, or provides new features that
may/may not apply to your environment.
DUPs for Dell Lifecycle Controller OS Driver packs are no longer available on the Dell OpenManage Server
Update DVD. You can find them on Dell Lifecycle Controller OS Driver Packs DVD.
This section provides information to help enhance your experience with SUU in specific implementations
and environments.
• If you launch SUU from a command shell and then press <Ctrl><c>, the SUU procedure, as well as
any running updates, will terminate. (137862)
• When you launch SUU, the utility inventories the targeted system. Depending on the system
configuration, this process may take several minutes to complete. (138439)
• The figures and examples in the "Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide" are used as
examples only and may not be identical to the SUU GUI. (137294, 136624)
• When you verify the SUU return codes, use the operating system-specific commands to view the
exit codes. (137296)
For example:
- Microsoft Windows: echo %ERRORLEVEL%
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux: echo $?
- SUU repository carries OS driver packs used by USC. But users cannot use SUU application to
update the OS driver packs.
