Other Documents You Might Need

•The

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Compatibility Guide

on the

Dell Support website at

support.dell.com

, or on the

Dell Systems

Management Tools and Documentation

DVD that came with your system.

This document

summarizes all Dell systems management releases that

precede the current release date.

NOTE: Dell Update Packages do not require Dell OpenManage Server

Administrator to be installed on your system.

•The

Server Update Utility User's Guide

on the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com

or on the

Dell Systems Management Tools and

Documentation

DVD which provides information on how to identify and

apply updates to your system. SUU is one of the applications used to

update your Dell system or to view updates available for any supported

system. SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on

your system with update components packaged on the

Dell Server Updates

DVD. It then displays a comparison report of the versions and provides an

option of updating the components.

NOTE: Only users with administrative privileges can perform updates with

SUU.

•The

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) User's Guide

on the Dell

Support website at

support.dell.com.

The DTK includes a set of utilities

for configuring and deploying Dell systems and is designed for customers

who need to build scripted installations to deploy large numbers of servers

in a reliable fashion without having to dramatically change their current

deployment processes. The guide also provides information on how to

execute Linux DUPs in the Dell

provided or in the customized embedded

Linux environment including the required dependencies.

NOTE: Currently, DUPs are supported only in the DTK embedded Linux

environment. Running DUPs in the Windows Preinstallation (Windows PE)

environment for pre-operating system hardware updates is not supported.

See the Dell Update Packages for Linux User’s Guide and the Dell

OpenManage Deployment Toolkit User's Guide for more information.
