Accessing DRM is taking longer time when too
many catalogs imported?
When there are more catalogs that are added to a repository, performance of DRM is impacted.
It is recommended to add a maximum number of 10 catalogs and delete catalogs that are not in use.
How to delete DRM database?
Stop the DRM services, and then delete the following folders:
• For Windows: C:\ProgramData\Dell\drm\database
• For Linux: /var/dell/drm/log/database
NOTE: If you have administrative privileges, ensure that you unhide all the hidden folders in Microsoft Windows
operating system.
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
• Linux: /var/dell/drm/log
You can save or email 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 then use Dell Repository Manager to customize the catalog as per the requirement and store the customized
catalog inside the firewall.
For more information about setting proxy, see Configuring network settings.
NOTE: If proxy server credentials are changed, ensure that you change the proxy credentials in DRM as well.
Why is the proxy password not displayed when
refreshing an inventory?
The proxy password field may be empty when refreshing an integration repository that was created using a proxy server. Enter the proxy
password, and then click Refresh.
Why am I seeing 0-1, 0-2, and so on in hours
selection drop-down menu?
In the refresh repository window, if you click the down arrow key when the time is displayed as "00:00", it changes to "0-1". After clicking
it again, it turns to "0-2" and so on.
Use the up arrow key to set the hour value.
