3. Supported Dell OpenManage Change Management Software
Dell OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that enables you to update Dell
systems easily. It is also an efficient way to manage hardware, software, and operating system
updates.
Dell OpenManage change management software comprises of:
• Dell Update Packages
• Server Update Utility
• Dell Yellow Dog Update Modified (YUM) Repository
• FTP Catalog
• PowerEdge Driver Maintenance Pack
• Dell Update Packages v7.2- A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a
standard package format. Each DUP is designed to update a single software component on a
Dell system.
DUPs allow administrators to update a wide range of system components
simultaneously and apply scripts to similar sets of Dell systems to bring system software
components up to the same version levels.
For more information on DUPs, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide available on the
Dell Support website at www.dell.com/support/manuals .
• Server Update Utility v7.2- Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based
application for identifying and updating Dell systems. You can use SUU to update your Dell
system or to view the available updates for any system supported by SUU.
SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on your system with the
components on the
Dell Server Updates DVD. SUU then displays a comparison
report of the versions and provides the option of updating the components.
For more information on SUU, see the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide
available at www.dell.com/support/manuals .
NOTE: SUU is used for server updates and may not work on newly released Dell systems
that do not receive any server updates.
