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

NOTE: Even when the same network share is provided as input for multiple DSU options, credentials should be provided for

both the DSU options.

NOTE: When a file is exported to network share through SMB1 protocol, DSU retains the temporary files.
