4 Dell EMC Repository Manager Integration with Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise | Technical white paper
Executive summary
Firmware update is one of the critical activities in device monitoring and management that helps you keep the
environment up-to-date and compliant. It also protects the devices against vulnerabilities and fixes bugs. Dell
EMC OpenManage Enterprise enables you to regularly check the compliance of devices and upgrade or roll
back, as necessary. With the integration of Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise into Dell EMC Repository
Manager, firmware update becomes even more simpler and seamless.
Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) allows you to create customized bundles and repositories based on
certain specified criteria and update specific software components on Dell devices.
Using DRM with Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise ensures that your Dell device managed through
OpenManage Enterprise is equipped with the latest BIOS, driver, and firmware updates. Primary use case for
this feature is to have different custom repositories generated by DRM, filtered for specific use cases, and
then use them against the custom device groups.
