Creating the Local CIFS or NFS Share Repository
 If your organization uses a private network that cannot access external sites such as
ftp.dell.com, you can provide platform updates from a locally-configured network
share device.
 If a CIFS or NFS share is available, you can copy the repository created using Dell
Repository Manager or the repository downloaded from ftp.dell.com.
Using Single Component Update
You can perform single component DUP update whenever components such as RAID, NIC, Diagnostic,
OS Driver Pack, PSU, and iDRAC are partially corrupt, or when a specific component must be
updated. Lifecycle Controller supports DUPs only in .exe format.
NOTE: If the DUP is located in the root directory, enter the name of the DUP (for example,
APP_WIN_RYYYZZZ.EXE). If the Update package is present in a sub-directory, enter both the sub-
directory name and name of the Update Package (for example,
subdirectory\APP_WIN_RYYYZZZ.EXE).
The following screens provide the workflow to update using FTP, local drive, or network share:

Provide the Dell Update Package (only .exe) location on the Dell FTP server (ftp.dell.com), internal
FTP server, or service provider’s FTP server.

example, APP_WIN_RYYYZZZ.EXE). If the DUP is present in a sub-directory, enter both the sub-
directory name and name of the DUP (for example, subdirectory\APP_WIN_RYYYZZZ.EXE).
