Frequently asked questions

This section lists some frequently asked questions about DRM.

Where is the Dell EMC Repository Manager

runtime log located?

DRM creates the log file at runtime in the following location:

• Windows: C:\ProgramData\Dell\drm\log

• Linux: /var/Dell/drm/log

You can also view the logs through Save and Mail Logs option in the Dell EMC drop-down menu.

Can DRM be run through a Proxy Server?

Yes, install DRM inside the firewall and connect to a catalog located outside the firewall (downloads.dell.com or a local repository) through

a proxy server. You can use the proxy server settings of Internet Explorer. If the proxy settings for Internet Explorer are not working, the

proxy can be set in DRM. You can then use Dell Repository Manager to customize the catalog as per the requirement and store the

customized catalog inside the firewall. For more information on setting proxy, see Configuring Network Settings.

How do I edit the ‘.sh’ file in Linux deployment

script bundle? Is there any recommended tool to

edit this file?

Notepad++ editor is recommended for editing the Linux based file extension on a Microsoft Windows operating system. If you want to edit

the extension of the file on a Linux operating system, vi editor is recommended.

I have installed DRM version 3.0 on my system and

I am trying to downgrade to one of the previous

version. However, I am not able to proceed

further. What do I do now?

Reverting to the previous version of DRM is not supported in the current version of the DRM installer. To install an earlier version of DRM,

manually uninstall the latest version through Add/Remove Programs in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel and then run the installer of

the desired version.

NOTE: DRM 2.0 and DRM 3.0 can co-exist on the same system.
