Configure Update Manager preferences
About this task
The version limit of a repository and the storage space used by the plugin can be configured in the Preferences page.
Steps
1. From the OpenManage Enterprise home page, select Plugins , then Update Management and then Settings.
2. Click Preferences.
The Preferences page is displayed.
3. Versioning sets the maximum number of versions of a repository that can be stored.
● Unlimited: This option is selected by default, and allows unlimited versions of a single repository to be stored.
● Maximum number of version: Enter the maximum number of versions of a repository that can be stored. If the number
of repository versions exceeds this value, the oldest version is automatically deleted.
4. Storage Space Available displays the total storage space that is dedicated for the Update Manager plugin. The value that
is displayed is 20 percent of the total available storage in OpenManage Enterprise. Storage Space Used displays the total
storage spaced used by the plugin.
The Storage Space Used is only updated after any repository operation is complete.
5. In Set Storage Limit enter any whole number ranging from 10 GB to the value displayed in Storage Space Available to set
the storage limit for the update manager plugin. Ensure that the value entered in Set Storage Limit is not lower than the
value in Storage Space Used.
It is recommended to not use the complete Storage Space Available when configuring this limit.
An alert is generated if the Storage Space Used exceeds 80 percent of this configured limit. If the Storage Space Used
exceeds this limit, a critical alert is generated and any repository operation in progress fails.
The default value for this field is 25 GB.
