Creating inventory files from the Inventory Collector for the Generic Inventory
Dell Repository
Manager provides an easy method for creating and maintaining repositories
based on the inventory obtained from Dell Server(s).
Inventory file is a part of an Inventory Collector in the form of
an Extensible Markup Language (XML). The Generic inventory file can
be obtained by running Inventory Collector (Windows/Linux) which is
available either from Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) or Dell OpenManage
Essentials (OME) or Dell OpenManage System Administrator (OMSA) or
from ftp.dell.com by getting the folder path
from Catalog.xml which is obtained by extracting Catalog.cab file. The advantages of the Generic inventory
are:
- A quick and easy way to build a custom repository from the inventory file obtained from Dell Server(s). There is no need to remember the system models and configuration of each individual system where the catalog information is coming from ftp.dell.com.
- Dell Repository Manager supports by creating a fully customized repository that only includes the update packages for a user-defined system configuration. All redundant updates are filtered out. This significantly reduces the size of a custom repository, saves the resources and efforts on managing the repository.
- You can build a repository that only contains the updates for only out-of-date devices; or build a baseline repository that contains updates for all the devices, including updates for out-of-date devices as well as any other updates for newer files.
To build a generic inventory file:
- Locate the inventory file for the desired Dell Server(s) from support.dell.com.
- Download the SUU image from support.dell.com. Mount the ISO image virtually on the server which must be updated. For example: K:\bin\Windows.
- Install the latest Inventory Collector executable file, for example: invCol.exe.
- From the command prompt, for example, type the following to run the Dell Inventory Collector: invCol.exe -outc=H:\Dell_Generic_Inv.xml.
- A Dell_Generic_Inv.xml is
generated and the file can be used by the Dell Repository Manager
to create generic Inventory.
NOTE: Similar procedure needs to be followed for Linux, except that the invCol is located inside the Linux folder.
