Offline Update 

  • Points to localized share 

  • Must copy entire directory structure from downloads.dell.com/openmanage_enterprise 

  • Supports NFS and HTTP shares 

  • Great for dark sites or locked down scenarios 

  • Also necessary in certain workaround scenarios 

NOTE: OM Enterprise 3.0 does not work with offline NFS Shares or HTTP shares if proxy is enabled. 

 

Offline Upgrade Requirements 

  • NFS or HTTP share 

  • Navigate to downloads.dell.com/openmanage_enterprise 

  • Copy the LexingtonUpdates.xml and LexingtonUpdates.xml.asc to the root of the share 

  • Make a new folder for the version you want to upgrade, like 3.4.0, at the root of the share 

  • Copy the content of the online version of the folder to the share folder

Update Settings How to check for updates Where to check for updates

 

  • Use the test option to verify basic Share connection 

  • Press the Refresh button in the center to look for an update 

Console and Extensions Updates Check for updates: Manually

 

  • If a new update is detected, it will show up in the next section and give the option to download and install 

NOTE: Newer versions of the Download and Install portion are broken up into separate jobs for better troubleshooting. 

  • Download job is called Default_OpenManage_Enterprise_Bundle_Download_Task 

  • This job downloads the tar.gz appliance bits and copies it to /var/opt/dell/omc/archives/ 

  • Update Job is called Console Update Execution 

  • This executes appliance_update.py and log you out 

NOTE: This can take 20 minutes to 2 hours. 

  • There is a job called Post Upgrade Task that must also run after it completes
