Updates different between OME and SUU
Hi,
I'm trying to understand what really needs to be done when updating Dell Hardware.
Comparing OME with the latest SUU iso update (SUU-WIN32_16.04.200.19.ISO) on an example m710HD we get the following pics. (This is against the same m710HD).
There are many updates not picked up by OME.
But if OME is the recommended tool for updates, then many updates are getting missed.
So, can someone pls explain what is happening and how to do comprehensive updates for our fleet of over 350 Dell servers? Is OME sufficient for the task?
Thx
John Bradshaw

Hello
It looks like OME is only updating hardware. Check to make sure you have the update method for the system set to in-band and that OMSA is installed on the system. It looks like it is doing out-of-band updates through the iDRAC. Updates through the iDRAC will only update a limited amount of hardware on an 11th generation system.

Yes, you are correct Daniel. OME is only updating via the DRAC.
Thx for pointing out the differences.
