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.
