Applying updates to older PowerEdge Servers
I was checking out the Dell Community Forums this morning, and following up on one of the threads I answered. Towards the end of the thread, it was pointed out that some of the older Dell PowerEdge servers don't have DVD drives, and the SUU image is larger than can fit on a CD image.
Luckily we have many tools in the toolbox to work our way around problems. You can use Content Manager from the SUU image to create a custom repository. The custom repository will include the SUU GUI and CLI tools to apply the patches, and you'll only have those updates that you selected, not the entire repository.
If you haven't had a chance to use Content Manager, I've got a demo you can check out.
