Setting up firmware update repository

You can set up the firmware update repository on the OMIVV Settings tab.

1. In OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter, on the Manage > Settings tab, under Appliance Settings at the right side of

Firmware Update Repository, click the icon.

2. In the Firmware Update Repository dialog box, select one of the following:

• Dell Online—you can access the location that uses the firmware update repository of Dell (Ftp.dell.com). The OpenManage

Integration for VMware vCenter downloads selected firmware updates from the Dell repository and updates the managed hosts.

NOTE: Based on the network settings, enable proxy settings if network needs proxy.

• Shared Network Folder—you can have a local repository of the firmware in a CIFS-based or NFS-based network share. This

repository can either be a dump of Server Update Utility (SUU) that Dell releases periodically or a custom repository created using

DRM. This network share should be accessible by OMIVV.

NOTE: If you are using CIFS share, the repository passwords cannot exceed 31 characters.

NOTE: Ensure that you use the latest Dell EMC Repository Manager(DRM) version (3.0) and later.

3. If you select Shared Network Folder, enter the Catalog File Location by using the following format:

• NFS share for .XML file—host:/share/filename.xml

• NFS share for .gz file—host:/share/filename.gz

• CIFS share for .XML file—\\host\share\filename.xml

• CIFS share for .gz file—\\host\share\filename.gz

NOTE: OMIVV supports only Server Message Block(SMB) version 1.0 and SMB version 2.0 based CIFS shares.

NOTE: If you are using CIFS share, OMIVV prompts you to enter the user name and password. The @, %, and ,

characters are not supported for use in shared network folder user names or passwords.

4. Click Apply after downloading is complete.

NOTE: It might take up to 60 to 90 minutes to read the catalog from the source and update the OMIVV database.
