Upgrading System Components
SUU compares the components installed on your system with the component
versions available in the repository. If the system components are older than
the repository version, SUU enables the Upgrade button on the upper right
corner of the Comparison Report.
To upgrade repository components:
1
Select the components that you want to upgrade.
2 Click Upgrade to apply the components that you have selected.
3 In the Confirm Update dialog box, click Yes to confirm and continue or
No to cancel.
While upgrading the components, SUU displays an update report. After
completion, SUU displays an
Update Complete dialog box.
4 Click OK .
The status of the upgrade is reflected in the Comparison Report.
NOTE: When you perform an upgrade, SUU copies all the update packages into a
temporary directory on the system: <%systemdrive%>:\dell\suu in case of Microsoft
Windows operating system and /var/log/dell/suu in case of Linux operating systems.
SUU deletes this temporary directory after the upgrade process is complete. If a
reboot is required to complete the upgrade process, the directory is saved until the
reboot process is complete.
CAUTION: Do not remove the Dell Server Updates DVD from the DVD drive when
you are running SUU.
