What is the most effective update strategy?

An engineer needs to update BIOS in the following environment:

– Over 100 servers are spread over 10 chassis

– All servers are in the same data center

– The only maintenance window is late Sunday evening when OS patches are applied and servers are rebooted

– Less than 10 minutes of additional downtime per server is allowed

What is the most effective update strategy?
A . Select On Next Reboot when applying the BIOS update via CMC before OS patches are performed.
B . Use Dell Repository Manager to create an ISO with the update that can be booted as part of the OS patch reboot process.
C . Configure each iDRAC to update from a network share that has a catalog and associated update package to be applied.
D . Run the Dell Update Package (DUP) on each server with the defer reboot option before the OS patch and associated reboot is done.
