Step 3: Updating Nodes of Windows Server HCI, Azure Stack HCI, and Failover clusters
25 Update firmware, BIOS, and drivers using Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) in OpenManage Integration with
Microsoft Windows Admin Center (OMIMSWAC)
The generated update compliance report helps the IT administrators to understand the update requirements
and plan their update cycles effectively. IT administrators can use the iDRAC or Dell Server Update (DSU) utility
to update their data center environments with the latest updates and keep their environments secure.
5.3 Configure proxy settings
OpenManage Integration extension provides an option to download catalog, DSU, and IC utilities from the
Internet using proxy settings to generate compliance report. However, proxy configurations do not allow
updating target nodes or clusters using online catalogs. In this case, compliance and updates using the offline
catalog are supported.
You can configure the proxy settings to connect to a proxy server that acts as an intermediary between your
gateway system and the Internet. If OMIMSWAC Update Tools settings are not configured and the gateway
system is not connected to the Internet, it will check the Internet connectivity using the proxy settings.
Note: Proxy settings are not supported in OpenManage Integration snap-in.
To connect to a proxy server:
1. Enter the IP address of the proxy server in the below format:
https://<IP address> or http://<IP address>
2. Enter the Port number of the proxy server in the below format, and click Save.
<port number> (https) or <port number> (http)
For example: 443 (https) or 80 (http)
