Dell Update Package Version 23.12.00 User's Guide

Overview of Dell Update Package

A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable (EXE) in a standard package format that updates a single software element on the system.

By using DUPs, you can

• Update various system components.
• Apply scripts across similar sets of Dell systems to bring them up to the same version levels.
• Install device drivers in interactive and noninteractive modes.
• Apply individual updates to a system by using an interactive Command-Line Interface(CLI).
• Perform multiple updates on a system using noninteractive commands using CLI.
• Schedule updates of operating system and software distribution utilities remotely.

iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller has a common DUP update on Dell PowerEdge 14^th generation and later servers. Operating system collector inventory and update support are available in PowerEdge 14G and later servers.
