Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide

Catalogs are bundles of firmware based on device types. All the available catalogs (update packages) are validated and posted to Dell.com. You can create firmware baselines which downloads these catalogs and act as a local repository for your devices. This reduces the extra effort of administrators and device managers to frequently access Dell.com, and also reduces the overall updating and maintenance time. For field definitions on the Catalog Management page, see Catalog Management field definitions. The sources of catalog that you can currently access are:

• Latest component firmware versions on Dell.com: Lists the latest firmware versions of devices. For example, iDRAC, BIOS, PSU, and HDDs that are rigorously tested and released and posted to Dell.com. See Creating a firmware catalog by using Dell.com.
• Network Path: Location where a catalog and optionally associated updates are saved after unpacking (locally downloading) from Dell.com or Dell Repository Manager (DRM). See Creating a firmware catalog by using local network.

  NOTE: As a part of local network catalog, you can use a single device update package stored on the local system.
