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 Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format that updates a specific software element on a 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 at once. Update Manager supports Dell EMC Update Packages (DUPs) in .EXE format.

Using Update Manager keep your systems up to date with the latest firmware and software by:

• Keeping the repositories up to date for updating the systems.
• Allowing manual or automatic updates of a catalog present in a repository.
• Customizing a repository by importing or deleting update packages.
• Generating a baseline for a repository which can be used to update firmware of the components in the repository.
