Release summary

Dell EMC Update Manger plugin (UMP) is an integrated solution for OpenManage Enterprise that allows IT Administrators to create and manage repositories for PowerEdge devices that are managed in OpenManage Enterprise which run iDRAC or a Windows operating system.

A repository consists of system bundles and their associated Dell Update Packages (DUP). A system bundle is a software collection that can be grouped to arrange the related updates that are applicable to same target platform and having the same format. A DUP is a self-contained executable file in a standard package format that updates a specific software element on Dell server or storage such as the BIOS, a device driver, firmware, and other similar software updates. These bundles and repositories allow the deployment of multiple firmware updates simultaneously. The Update Manager plug-in(UMP) supports DUPs in .exe format.

To update the systems with the latest firmware and software using Update Manager, do the following:

• Ensure that the repositories are up-to-date.
• Enable manual or automatic updates of the catalog present in the repositories.
• Customize a repository by importing or deleting update packages.
• Enable the option to view the baseline compliance report of the repository that is used to update the firmware of the components in the repository.
