It's down again. And this is embarrasing to have this thing going down every couple months without any proactive response for a company like Dell. Firmware updates are blocked.

Talked with my CSM this morning. They could also access the page on their internal/dell network but asked me to call in and report it. I tested with multiple systems at two different sights ~100 miles away as well as another system with a different ISP. All failed to load the page or access the repo with yum/dnf. Got on a call with a Dell support engineer and he confirmed on a outside network he was also not able to connect to the repo. He was going to try to trackdown who/what team manages the repo and let them know.
@DELL Please work on improving the stability of this service. It's frustrating that this repository keeps going down. Additionally, please ensure Dell Support has a direct path to escalate these outages to the responsible team when reported.
