Dell EMC Repository Manager Version 3.3 Troubleshooting Guide

PDF

Overview

The Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) ensures that the Dell systems are up-to-date with the latest BIOS, driver, firmware, and software. DRM allows you to:
  • Create repositories of customized component(s) and updates.
  • Create groups of related updates for systems running the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system.
  • Generate comparison reports. Update baselines of custom repositories and generate deployment tools.
The customized repositories are made up of Dell EMC Update Packages (DUPs) or Non-DUPs (such as .exe, .msi, .bin or any other file formats) files. DUPs are software utilities provided to update specific software and firmware components. You can arrange these components to group the related updates together. Every repository has a catalog.xml file and it specifies the content of the repository. DRM also has catalog.xml.gz and catalog.gz files. You can import the repository content in two formats, however, you can export the repository content in catalog.xml format only. The file downloaded from downloads.dell.com/catalog is digitally signed to ensure system security.

NOTE: : In order to provide better security, the ftp.dell.com site has been removed, and will be redirected to http://downloads.dell.com However, the most secure option we recommend is to use https://downloads.dell.com.
