Update Utility
Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based application
for identifying and applying updates to your system.
You can use SUU to update your Dell PowerEdge system or to view the
updates available for systems supported by SUU. SUU compares the versions
of components currently installed on your system with update components
packaged on the Dell PowerEdge Server Update Utility media.
SUU displays a comparison report of the versions and provides various
options for updating the components.
NOTE: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges
can perform updates using SUU.
NOTE: From SUU 6.3 onwards, the Repository Manager GUI is displayed when you
insert the SUU DVD in an unsupported system running on Microsoft Windows
operating system.
