Exporting As A Server Update Utility (SUU)

You can export selected Dell recommended and/or custom bundle(s) as a fully functional SUU.

To export selected Dell recommended and/or custom bundle(s) as a fully functional SUU:

  1. On the My Repositories tab select the desired repository, and click Open.
  2. Click the Bundles tab.
  3. Select the bundle(s) you want to export from the list of displayed bundle(s), and click Export. The Export Bundle(s) window is displayed.
  4. In the Export Bundle(s) window, click Next to continue. The Select Destination window is displayed.
  5. In the Select Destination window, select Export as SUU and select one of the following, and click Next to continue. The Select Plugins page is displayed.
    • Export as SUU to Directory — Creates a SUU pack in the provided directory.
    • Export as SUU to ISO — Creates an ISO image of the SUU pack.

    The system checks for availability of the latest SUU plug-in. If a plug-in is available, the version number of the plug-in is displayed and the application prompts you to proceed with the exporting process.

    For more information on the usage of SUU on Windows and Linux servers, see the Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility User's Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

    • While Dell Repository Manager checks for availability of the required SUU plug-ins, the Checking to see if the required plug-in is installed... dialog box is displayed.
    • If the latest plug-in is already downloaded the following message displays: Required plug-in found.

      The version number of the plug-in found is also displayed.

    • The Select Plugins shows the following details:
      Plug-in type Installed Version
      Generate 32– Bit SUU* Status SUU version
      Generate 64– Bit SUU** Status SUU version
    • When ftp.dell.com is accessible and the latest plug-in does not exist on the system, DRM will download the required plug-ins in the run time.
      • NOTE: * — Only 32–bit Windows bundles or any Linux bundles can be included in 32–bit plug-in.

        ** — Only 64–bit Windows bundles or any Linux bundles can be included in 64–bit plug-in.

      • NOTE: Ensure that the system is connected to the Internet and the ftp.dell.com is accessible.
  6. Click Next to continue. The Browse For Folder window is displayed.
  7. In the Browse For Folder window, navigate to the folder on your local drive, where you want to export the SUU, and click OK. The Summary and Finish window is displayed.
  8. Click Finish to complete. After you click Finish the SUU Export Queued message appears informing you that the job has been scheduled in the Jobs Queue.
    • NOTE: SUU ISO can be burnt on a DVD or mounted on the target system to update the particular system.
    • NOTE: SUU directory can be copied on a USB device or accessed from a network share from which the SUU can be launched.
  9. Click OK to close the SUU Export Queued window.
