Update Utility Creation 25
Update Utility Creation
The Dell™ Server Updates DVD contains a repository which includes update
packages for supported Dell systems for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
and Linux
operating systems. The Update Utility Creation module in the Dell Systems
Build and Update Utility enables you to customize and create a smaller and
more compact update utility repository by selecting only the systems and
operating systems you require. This custom repository retains the features of
the Server Update Utility.
You can use the Update Utility Creation module to carry out one-to-one
updates on your systems.
How do I Access Update Utility Creation?

Update Utility Creation .
The
Source Repository Selection screen in the Update Utility Creation
module displays.

repository resides.

the operating system, the Dell systems that you want to update, and the
target location for the customized update utility. After you specify these
details, the module will generate a customized update utility. You can now
use the customized utility to carry out one-to-one updates on your systems.
