Add Update Catalog

Question

Trying to add a local update catalog in OME 3.5 and running into issues. Might be on my side but just want to check that I am using the correct info.

It's a CIFS to a DFS volume but I have the correct IP address. The location is valid because I have it mapped from my workstation.

Catalog File Path - leading slash or no? forward slashes or back slashes?

Domain - Is this the domain name of the device or the user? FQDN or NETBIOS (eg mycompany.com or MYCO)

User Name - jaimie or myco\jaimie

Every time I try to set it up I get the same error message. Is there somewhere that will give me a better idea of what is happening? Can I turn on extra logging so I can tell where it is failing?

============== Error message ==================================

Connection to path failed Try again

Resolution : Make sure a valid network share file folder and network share address is entered with a supported share type version, and retry the operation. If the issue persists, perform reset or restart as applicable to the product. See the product User's Guide available on the support site.

I got this working after trying various permutations. I have answered my own questions below in case anyone else gets stuck

Catalog File Path - Can be forward slashes or back slashes. I have a leading backslash and the rest are forward slashes

Domain - domain of the user in NETBIOS format (MYCO not mycompany.com)

User Name - jaimie (doesn't need domain)
