3 Manage firmware and driver repositories using repository
profile
3.1 Repository Profile
A repository profile enables you to create and manage driver or firmware repositories. The driver profile is
used to update the drivers and the firmware profile is used to update firmware for the vSAN cluster.
These profiles can also be associated to Cluster Profile and the profile created is used to baseline the vSAN
Cluster. While creating firmware and driver repository profiles, there is a step to provide driver and firmware
share. The firmware and driver shares created in the earlier sections will be provided during firmware and
driver profile creation.
The default OMIVV firmware catalogs are Dell EMC Default Catalog and Validated MX Stack Catalog. These
cannot be used to update or baseline vSAN clusters.
