Howdy,
So we have a bunch of models of servers in our various locations 610, 620, 630, 430, etc. We've recently started trying out the SUU file that we can download from the Drivers & Download pages in order to keep firmware and things up to date.
However, each of those files is 10 - 15+ gigs in size. I'm assuming this is because the file for the 610 contains every possible update for every possible hardware item that could possibly be in a 610.
So I have a couple questions:
1) Do I have to go download the SUU file for every model of server we have and then put that file on each server of that model?
2) Is there a standard frequency that those files get updated so I know how often to go look for new things?
3) Is there any way to get notified when the files get updated for the certain models that we actually use?
4) Is there any alternative to this that doesn't involve such a giant download? I know I can reboot into the Lifecycle controller to check for updates but then the server is offline during that whole process while when using the SUU it's only offline during the reboots which is nice.
We're just looking for the best way to keep on top of updates for our various models. We also use OME but that doesn't update its library unless I log in and tell it to go update. Is there an Auto-Update ability that I can turn on somewhere?
Thanks!
