Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Release 1.4.0 User's Guide

PDF

Using a DVD

Use either Server Update Utility (SUU) DVDs or custom DVDs (SUU ISO downloaded from support.dell.com and written to a DVD) to perform firmware updates. The available DVDs are:
  • OpenManage SUU DVD to update all the server components such as Lifecycle Controller, Dell Diagnostics, BIOS, RAID Controller, NIC, iDRAC, and Power Supply Unit.
  • Lifecycle Controller OS Driver Packs DVD (Windows only) to update the operating system driver packs.

To access the updates from a DVD:

  1. Insert the appropriate DVD in the locally-attached CD/DVD drive. Alternatively, insert the appropriate DVD in the client and use the Virtual Media feature to access the attached CD/DVD drive. For more information, see the iDRAC7 User’s Guide .
  2. From the Local Drive drop-down menu, select the drive that contains the updated DVD.
  3. In the File Path or Update package path box, enter the location or sub-directory where the catalog is stored.
    • NOTE: If the catalog file is located in the root folder, do not enter the file name in the File Path or Update package path box. However, if the catalog file is located in a sub-directory, enter the sub-directory name (for example, subdirectory).
    • NOTE: If the catalog file or DUP is downloaded from ftp.dell.com, do not copy them into a sub-directory.
    • NOTE: Lifecycle Controller allows 256 characters in a path, and does not support special characters such as :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, #, %, and ^ in folder names.
