Setup Guide

Upgrading to Dell SPI version 4.1

If you have Dell SPI version 3.0 or later installed on the management server, you can upgrade the same to version 4.1.

When you upgrade from version 3.0 or later, the existing policies are upgraded to the version 4.1 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 v4.1.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 for HPOM for Microsoft Windows.

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

Dell devices.
