DELL EMC OpenManage Server Update Utility

Upgrading system components

SUU compares the version of the components installed on the system with the versions available in the repository. If the system component versions are earlier than the repository version, SUU enables the Upgrade button on the upper-right corner of the Comparison Report.

To upgrade the 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 can be viewed 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, on systems running Microsoft Windows operating system and /var/log/dell/suu, on systems running Linux operating systems. SUU deletes this temporary directory after the upgrade process is complete. If a restart is required to complete the upgrade process, the directory is saved until the restart process is complete.
