Troubleshooting
Issue1: While running the Firmware Update wizard, at the datacenter or cluster level, an error
message “The firmware repository file does not exist or is invalid.” may display. This may be due
to a daily background process that was unable to download and cache the catalog file from the
repository. This occurs if the catalog file is not reachable at the time the background process runs.
Resolution/Workaround: After resolving any catalog connectivity issues that may exist, you can
re-initiate the background process by changing the firmware repository location and then setting it
back to the original location. Allow about 5 minutes for the background process to complete.
