Network share
In this chapter you will learn about network share, command line attributes to export inventory using network share option and
various options supporting network share
A shared resource, or network share, is a computer resource made available from one host to other host on a computer
network .
DSU supports SMB1 and SMB2 protocol.
Choices:
--authentication
Network share allows user to specify the authentication parameters that are required for accessing the repository. If the
authentication parameters are incorrect, then AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE is returned.
To export inventory file using authentication option:
--inventory --output=C:\Programfiles\Dell\Dell EMCSystem Update\dell_dup\inv.json --
output-format=JSON --authentication=abc:bca123
Following are the key points to users while using network share option
● Ensure to provide credentials when multiple Dell System Update options are given from the same network share.
● Dell System Update retains the temporary files even when a file is exported to a network share via SMB1 protocol.
● If the location you provide is an external network share, then ensure that you provide the --authentication attribute.
● When system is not connected to network, user can provide all the below options to get required files:
○ --ic-location
○ --source-type
○ --source-location
○ --installer-location
○
