Automating Dell Server Updates (Windows host OS)
I don't automate the function because my server fleet isn't that large. I have a normally scheduled task with each client site twice per year. And I certainly don't download a huge file (ahem, HPE), but run the DSU command from an elevated command prompt. It reads the current environment, downloads the appropriate comparison chart, and allows me to select the updates. 15 minutes and a reboot later and I'm done. DSU requires a one-time installation, and is self-updating https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000116751/how-to-install-drivers-and-firmware-using-dell-emc-system-update-dsu-in-windows More on reddit.com

Dell Server Automatic Driver/Utility installer?
Does Dell have a downloadable disc that installs the latest drivers for servers, along with utilities like OpenManage? Something similar to a HP Smartstart disk? I’d take just the drivers too, but I have to be able to mount it via the remote console… Looking at this for PE M710HD and PE ... More on community.spiceworks.com

r/sysadmin on Reddit: Automating Dell Server Updates (Windows host OS)

From what I understand, you can update a Dell server via the Lifecycle Controller (iDRAC or otherwise) or the Dell Server Update Utility (DSUU), either in GUI or command line.

The DSUU is an ~11GB ISO, and extracted, looks to be about 20 GB.

This seems kinda crazy to me, like surely you can just extract the suu.exe and whatever dependencies it has, and have it work in a similar fashion to Dell Command Update?

I'd like to automate through our RMM rather than schedule through the Lifecycle Controller/iDRAC (I think you can do that), so we have visibility in the RMM dashboard.

How are you automating your Dell server updates (firmware, drivers, BIOS, etc.)?

r/sysadmin on Reddit: How to update Dell server drivers/firmware/BIOS now that Dell Command Update doesn't work on servers?
June 2, 2021 -

I have been using Dell Command Update for as long as I can remember to update Dell PowerEdge servers. I was setting up a client's new server and ran DCU like I normally would and it said no updates found. But when I go to the support page for the server's service tag, it shows a newer BIOS. It looks like Dell removed servers from being able to use DCU to do updates.

What is the preferred way to keep the servers updated these days?

Thanks!
