Creating validated firmware solution baseline
using Dell Repository Manager
Dell Repository Manager (DRM) allows you to create a repository and access catalogs from OME-M which can be later imported
using CIFS, NFS, or HTTPS.
Adding repository for the baseline
After installing and launching the DRM, add a repository for the baseline that has to be standardized. You can select the
previous version from the Index Catalog, and the list of solution baselines are available in the Validated MX Stack Catalog under
catalog groups. The versions are numbered in the date year-month-number format. For example, JULYCY20 catalog is version
20-07-00. For more information about firmware versions, see MX7000 Solution Baselines.
To add repository:
1. On the DRM home page, click Add Repository.
2. Enter the Repository Name and Description of the repository.
3. Select the Base Catalog from the drop-down list. By default, the Enterprise Sever Catalog option is selected. The available
options are:
a. Enterprise Server Catalog
b. Index Catalog
c. Validated MX Stack Catalog
The Base Catalog window is displayed when you select the Index Catalog for earlier versions of the Validated Stack
Catalog.
4. On the Base Catalog window, select the required catalog from the Catalogs dropdown.
5. Click Add.
Downloading catalog and creating repository
After adding the repository, you must select a location to host the catalog and the Dell Update Packages (DUPs). The selected
location must be a network share which is accessible to OpenManage - Modular on the chassis which uses the baseline. The
downloads are done in the background through a job.
To download catalog:
1. On the DRM home page, select the catalog that you created, and click Download.
The Download Components window is displayed.
2. Click Browse. The browse window is displayed.
3. Select a shared folder and click Open to download the baseline.
NOTE:
The shared folder must be accessible to OME-M through CIFS, NFS, or HTTPS from the chassis to use the
baseline.
