Dell Open Manage Version 4.3 Features and Enhancements The Dell Open Manage server support kit version 4.3 implements native operating system installation tools to install systems management software on your Dell Power Edge™ systems (for example, Microsoft® Installer Utility [MSI], Red Hat® Package Manger [RPM], and Novell® IPS). The new installation procedure provides faster software installations and smaller package sizes, as well as dependency checking and native operating system installation features. On Power Edge systems running the Microsoft Windows® operating system, you can automatically update Dell Open Manage products through future Dell Open Manage service pack releases. Red Hat and Novell updates will also be consistent with their respective operating system install technologies. See the Dell Open Manage Server Administrator Compatibility Guide located on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for information on updating your specific Power Edge system.
Dell Server Update Utility Overview The Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) identifies and applies driver and firmware updates to your Power Edge system. SUU compares the drivers and firmware versions on your system with the components installed on the SUU CD repository and allows you to apply the necessary updates to your system, if required. Before you install Dell Open Manage 4.3 on your Power Edge system, run the SUU to ensure that your system is running the latest drivers and firmware. See the Dell Server Update Utility 1.0 User’s Guide located at the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for a list of supported Power Edge systems and operating systems. NOTE: The Dell Open Manage Subscription Service CD Kit includes the Dell Power Edge Updates CD. This utility is not included with the Dell Open Manage server support kit version 4.3 that ships with Power Edge systems, but is available from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
