Dell Patch Management Solution 181
For example, if n number of updates are applied, then the rollout job
contains the following:
• n number of Lifecycle controller enabled Send Update tasks
• One Lifecycle controller enabled Execute Update task
• n number of Lifecycle controller enabled Poll Status tasks
A Lifecycle controller enabled rollout job is created when you choose one or
more DUPs to be applied to a managed system, through one of the Hardware
Update Compliance reports. Within the job, each task has a specific
function. The Send Update task causes the DUP to be downloaded from the
Dell Management Console to the Lifecycle controller on the target. The
Execute Update task initiates the Lifecycle controller to begin application of
the particular DUP. The Poll status task checks on the DUP application
status - whether the DUP application is completed successfully or not. After
the update, a status message is displayed.
Rollback Report
The Rollback report lists previously installed version of BIOS or firmware
updates available on the Lifecycle controller enabled servers. Only BIOS and
firmware can be rolled back.
You cannot rollback the following:
• Universal Server Configurator (USC)
• Dell Diagnostics applications
• Drivers for operating system (OS) installations
