23.3 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.

  1. In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, then click Servers.

    A icon in the 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 are available in the following situations:

    • If a Dell Update Package exists in the ZENworks package repository but it is not assigned to that specific server model.

    • 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 icon to view the name of the Dell Update Package bundle appropriate for the device.

  3. If the appropriate Dell Update Package bundle is not yet assigned to the device, continue with Section 23.2, Assigning Dell Update Package Bundles.

    or

    If the appropriate Dell Update Package bundle is already assigned to the device, continue with Section 23.4, Deploying an Updated Version of a Dell Update Package Bundle.
