Download a Catalog

You can download a catalog from a Test or Production version or from a Production version that has been archived.

Download a Production catalog

After testing is complete, download a Production version of the catalog to the location where updates can be locally installed.

These steps describe downloading a Production catalog. The steps for downloading a Test or archived catalog are similar.

To download a Production catalog:

1. Select for a Production catalog and click Download.

2. Wait as the Status column transitions from Creating Download to Download ready, which may take some time based on the

size of the catalog.

3. From , select Download.

A Download Catalog dialog displays with instructions. The dialog also displays a checksum value that you can use to verify

the catalog after the download completes.

4. At the bottom right, click Download Catalog.

A .zip file is assigned a GUID value, and a Status Bar indicates the download progress.

Cloud Repository Manager downloads a local copy of the .zip file.

NOTE:

This action does not download the updates. The file is only a reference to the Dell Update Packages (DUPS) that

you enabled for this catalog, so the size is manageable.

5. Optionally, use the SHA to verify the downloaded .zip.

6. Extract the .zip file.
