Use an SUU ISO file to create a repository
About this task
This section describes how to use a Server Update Utility(SUU) ISO file to create a repository. If you do not want to use an
SUU-based catalog, go to create a repository.
Steps
1. Download the required SUU ISO file from https://www.dell.com/support/. For more information, see DELL EMC
OpenManage Server Update Utility User's guide.
2. Save the file to a network share. The supported network share types are NFS, CIFS, HTTP, and HTTPS.
3. Right-click the ISO image file, and extract it to the same network share using any extraction utility.
4. From the repository folder, copy the folder path of the Catalog.xml file.
NOTE:
● The version number of the Catalog.xml file is not displayed.
● The filename of the Catalog.xml file cannot be changed.
5. In the Create Repository workflow, set Base Catalog to Network Share and enter the required information for Share
Address and Catalog File Path.
NOTE: The Test Connection option confirms whether OpenManage Enterprise has access to the location.
