Upgrading From Dell SPI Version 3.0

If you have Dell SPI version 3.0 installed on the management server, you can upgrade the same to version

4.0.

When you upgrade from version 3.0, the existing policies are upgraded to the version 4.0 and the existing

Dell groups from Nodes and Services are removed and recreated automatically.

NOTE: The upgrade process does not preserve the schedule settings for the policy files. However,

the parameters that were configured using the DellSPIConfigUtility.exe are retained.

Upgrading Dell SPI

1. Run the Dell Smart Plug-In v4.0.msi from the extracted folder.

The Welcome screen is displayed. You are also prompted with a message that another version of

Dell SPI is installed and whether you want to upgrade to a newer version.

2. Click Yes to proceed with the installation.

3. Follow steps 5 to 11 mentioned in Installing The Dell SPI.

NOTE: After the upgrade process is complete, the Dell Hardware Autogroup Policy runs

automatically to group the Dell devices.
