Dell OpenManage change management software is a set of tools that enables you to update Dell systems easily. It is
also an efficient way to manage hardware, software, and operating system updates.
•Dell Update Packages v7.4 - A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package
format. Each DUP is designed to update a single software component on a Dell system.
DUPs allow administrators to update a wide range of system components simultaneously and apply scripts to similar
sets of Dell systems to bring system software components up to the same version levels.
For more information on DUPs, see the
www.dell.com/support/manuals.
•Server Update Utility v7.4 - Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is a DVD-based application for identifying
and updating Dell systems. You can use SUU to update your Dell system or to view the available updates for any
system supported by SUU.
Dell Update Packages User's Guide
available on the Dell Support website at
SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on your system with the components on the
Updates
DVD. SUU then displays a comparison report of the versions and provides the option of updating the
components.
For more information on SUU, see the
support/manuals.
NOTE: SUU is used for server updates and may not work on newly released Dell systems that do not receive any
server updates.
•Dell Yellow Dog Update Modified (YUM) Repository - The Dell Linux Community Repository helps distribute Delldeveloped open-source software. It allows Dell user-community to contribute its open-source modules. It is
available at http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ and packages can be updated through standard package
management commands like yum.
•FTP Catalog - With Repository Manager, you can use the FTP catalog, which you contains the support for n and n-1
blocks. For more information about the supported system models for the FTP catalog, see ftp.dell.com/cmsdk/
PDK_Readme.doc.

Supported Dell Remote Access Controllers And
Solutions
The Dell PowerEdge embedded server management solution, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with
Lifecycle Controller, helps IT administrators to speed up the essential management tasks, it increases the availability of
your servers, and reduces your IT operational expenses.
With powerful, easy-to-use, remote management and configuration options, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller alerts IT
administrators when an issue occurs, enables streamlined local and remote server management, and reduces or
eliminates the need for administrators to physically visit the server even if the server is not operational.
Overview
Both iDRAC Express and Enterprise ship from the factory with a default static IP address, this is a preferred and a known
method. However, Dell also offers two options to better fit into a customer’s existing environment . Auto-discovery or
DHCP can be set from the factory to allow you to access the iDRAC and remotely configure your server.
Auto Discovery
The Auto Discovery option is for customers who have some type of provisioning server already installed in their data
center environment. A provisioning server manages and automates the deployment or upgrade of an operating system
and applications to a Dell PowerEdge™ server. By enabling Auto Discovery, the servers will — upon first boot —
search for a provisioning server to take control and begin the automated deployment or update process. Select this
option if you like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. There is no charge to enable Auto Discovery at
the time of order.
DHCP
The DHCP option is for customers who have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server already installed in
their data center environment. The DHCP server automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to
iDRAC7. Select this option if you like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. There is no charge to
enable DHCP at time of order.
iDRAC Service Module
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) Service Module is a lightweight optional software application
that can be installed on Dell 12G Server or later. The iDRAC Service Module complements iDRAC interfaces – Graphical
User Interface (GUI), RACADM CLI and Web Service Management (WSMAN) with additional monitoring data. You can
configure the features on the supported operating system depending on the features to be installed and the unique
integration needs in a work environment.
DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating
system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
For more information on DRAC or iDRAC, see the
Remote Access Controller User's Guide

Lifecycle Controller — Supported Dell Systems
and Operating Systems
The Dell Lifecycle Controller provides advanced embedded systems management and is delivered as part of integrated
Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and embedded Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications in the
11th and 12th generation Dell servers.
The Lifecycle Controller software components are built on iDRAC and UEFI system firmware. Lifecycle Controller
firmware can access and manage the hardware, including component and sub- system management that is beyond the
traditional Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) capabilities. The UEFI environment provides the local console
interface and the infrastructure for locally managed system components. It simplifies the end-to-end server lifecycle
management.
On the 11th generation servers, Lifecycle Controller is known as Unified Server Configurator (USC), Unified Server
Configurator - Lifecycle Controller Enabled, and Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services.
On the 12th generation servers, Lifecycle Controller is known as Lifecycle Controller 2 (includes GUI and Remote
Services). The functionalities available are based on the generation of the server and the variant of Lifecycle Controller:
•Lifecycle Controller GUI v1.3 — Lifecycle Controller GUI supports systems management tasks such as deploy,
configure, update, maintain, and diagnose in a one-to-one method.
•Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services v1.3 — Remote Services (WS-MAN) simplifies end-to-end server lifecycle
management using the one-to-many method. It interfaces for remote deployment integrated with Dell OpenManage
Essentials and partner consoles.
For more information, see the Lifecycle Controller documentation available at www.dell.com/support/manuals.
Supported Dell Systems And Windows Operating Systems For
Lifecycle Controller v1.3
See Supported Dell OpenManage Systems Management Software on Windows Operating Systems for a list of all the
Dell systems and Microsoft Operating systems that support Lifecycle Controller.

RAID Controller Supported Servers, Operating
Systems, Firmware, And Driver Versions
Starting with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 5.0, only the enhanced Storage Management Service is
supported. The Storage Management Service allows you to configure and manage your storage devices from within
Server Administrator.
NOTE: The Storage Management Service mentioned in this guide refers to the enhanced Storage Management
Service. Server Administrator no longer supports the basic Storage Management Service (also known as Array
Manager).
Most of the systems management releases support management of RAID controllers in the form of PERC cards, and
some systems management releases also support CERC IDE and SATA controllers. System administrators responsible
for monitoring the compatibility of their systems' storage devices need a clear matrix that shows the elements that are
compatible with a particular storage controller. Each storage controller version in turn supports a specific array of
elements, including:
•Version of the Storage Management Service
•Dell system
•Firmware version number required for a particular controller
•Supported operating systems, where each operating system requires a specific driver
For more information on Storage Management Services see the Dell
and the Dell
The following types of controllers are included in this section:
•The RAID controller card group contains the following controllers: PERC 5/E, PERC 5/i Adapter, PERC 5/i Integrated,
SAS 5/iR Adapter, SAS 6/iR Integrated, PERC 6/E Adapter, PERC 6/i Adapter, PERC 6/i Integrated, PERC H200 Adapter,
PERC H200 Integrated, PERC H200 Modular, PERC H700, PERC H800, SAS 6/iR Adapter, and CERC 6/i Integrated.
•The SAS 5/i Integrated and SAS 5/E controller.
