The Dell™ Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU) includes a single tool to enable basic life cycle management of Dell systems:
- Simple OS Installation (LINUX and WINDOWS) with device drivers
- Firmware and BIOS Update using (SUU)
- Hardware Configuration (BIOS, iDRAC and RAID Configuration)
On Dell servers newer than the 11th generation (11G - released in 2009), the on-board bootable Unified Server Configurator (A component of the Lifecycle Controller) provides similar functionality to SBUU without the need for a CD.
