2.2.3 Determining If Newer Dell Package Updates Are Available
for PowerEdge Servers
After you run a mirror session and obtain updated Dell Update Packages, it is easy to determine if a
newer Dell Update Package is available for installation on Dell PowerEdge servers in your
ZENworks system.
To determine if there are updated Dell Update Package bundles available for the servers in your
system:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, then click Servers .
A link in the Dell Updates column indicates whether there is a Dell Update Package bundle
available in the ZENworks package repository for each Dell PowerEdge server in the list. An
update is available in the following situations:
Š If a Dell Update Package exists in the ZENworks package repository but it is not assigned
to that specific server model.
Š
If a specific Dell Update Package is already assigned to the device, but an updated
package has been mirrored and is available in the ZENworks package repository.
2 Click the link to view the name of the Dell Update Package bundle appropriate for the device.
