Stand-Alone Systems and Firewalls

For systems that are not connected to the Internet or that have firewall which block user downloads, you need to

download DUP from dell.com/support by using a system that has Internet access, such as desktop or portable computer.

You can make DUP available to the system by copying them onto removable media that the system supports.

Confirming the Update

To ensure that the DUPs were applied to the system, review the console output that was generated during execution.

For detailed information about the messages, see Linux Troubleshooting.

If you want to revert to a previous (older) version of the software after updating to a newer version, you must download

the appropriate DUP from dell.com/support/manuals and install it.

For Systems Running Linux:

To install the previous version from a script, use -q (unattended) mode. In addition, you must use the CLI -f option, which

forces the downgrade.

NOTE: If the system loses power during the update process, you must perform the updates again.

NOTE: DUPs for Linux can also be found in the repository on the

Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility DVD

that

contains the updated BIOS, and firmware components for Dell systems. For more information, see the

Dell

OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals.

For Systems Running Windows:

To install the earlier version from a script, use the /s (unattended) mode. In addition, you must use the CLI /f option,

which forces the downgrade. You are prompted to ensure that you want to install an earlier version.
