110 Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems
Upgrading Managed System Software
The Dell OpenManage installer provides an Upgrade option for upgrading
Server Administrator and other managed system software.
The setup program runs the Prerequisite Checker, which uses your system's
PCI bus to search for installed hardware, such as controller cards.
The setup program installs or upgrades all of the managed system software
features that are appropriate for your particular system's hardware
configuration.
During the upgrade, you cannot add to the list of managed system software
features to install because all features appropriate for your system are pre-selected.
NOTICE: Dell OpenManage Array Manager is no longer supported. If you are
upgrading a system (installed with Dell OpenManage version 4.3 or later) with Array
Manager installed, Array Manager will be removed during the upgrade process.
You can use the Storage Management Service instead.
NOTE: All user settings are preserved during upgrades.
NOTE: During an upgrade, you cannot add to the list of management station
software features to install.
