Install Guide

Introduction

The Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) ensures that the systems are up-to-date with the latest BIOS, driver, rmware, 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 and update baselines of custom repositories.

The customized repositories are made up of Dell EMC Update Packages (DUPs) or Non-DUPs (such as .exe, .msi, .bin or any other le

formats) les. DUPs are software utilities provided to update specic software and rmware components. You can arrange these

components to group the related updates together. Every repository has a catalog.xml le and it species the content of the repository.

DRM also has catalog.xml.gz and catalog.gz les. You can import the repository content in all the three formats, however, you can export

the repository content in catalog.xml format only. The le downloaded from ftp.dell.com/catalog and downloads.dell.com/catalog is

digitally signed to ensure system security.
