Introduction

The Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) ensures that the systems are up-to-date with the latest BIOS, driver, firmware, and software.

DRM allows you to:

• Create repositories of customized components 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 file

formats) files. DUPs are software utilities that are provided to update specific software and firmware components. You can arrange these

components to group the related updates together. You can import the repository content in all the three formats, however, you can

export the repository content in

catalog.xml format only.

This guide describes the installation process of Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) on the supported versions of operating systems.
