Update a catalog

To update a catalog:

1. On the Catalog Management page, select a catalog.

2. Click the Check for update button that is located in the right pane of the Catalog Management page.

3. Click YES.

If the selected catalog was an online catalog, it is replaced by the most up-to-date version that is maintained at the Dell.com site. For

the local network catalogs, all the latest firmware and drivers available in the shared location are considered for computing the baseline

compliance.

Create a baseline

A baseline is a set of devices or group of devices that are associated with that catalog. A baseline is created for compliance evaluation of

the firmware and drivers for the devices in that baseline, against the versions specified in the catalog. To create a baseline:

NOTE:

To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based

OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.

NOTE: A non-compliant device with a firmware and/or driver version earlier than the catalog version, is not

automatically updated. You must update the firmware version. It is recommended to update device firmware during

maintenance windows to prevent the devices or environment going offline during business hours.

1. Under Firmware, click Create Baseline.
