2. Enter the CIFS share path where catalog files are placed and the user credentials to access the CIFS share path, and then select
Next: Compliance details:.
The catalog files can be generated by using the Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) application. Ensure that in the shared catalog
repository all the required Dell Update Packages (DUP) are available for the target node.
If a new catalog path is provided, the previous path that was used to compute the update compliance may not be available.
OMIMSWAC collects the catalog from the shared path, collects the DSU and IC tools that are configured in the Settings tab, and
generates a Compliance Report. If DSU and IC tools are not configured in the Settings, OMIMSWAC with Internet access will download
them from www.downloads.dell.com to generate the compliance report.
NOTE: You must provide individual catalog files with the user credentials for server manager, and cluster manager
respectively.
The compliance details are computed and the report is available under Update > Compliance Details. For more details about compliance
report, see View compliance report.
Step 2: Viewing compliance report and selecting
components—Target node components
The update compliance details are computed, and the compliance report is displayed. The doughnut chart represents the number of
components in compliant, urgent, recommended, and optional states using color codes. The compliance report provides a detailed view of
all the components that contains: component name, current version, type, baseline version, compliance status, criticality, and Compliance
Type.

For example: Serial-
ATA_Firmware_6FGD4_WN64_E012_A00
Compliance Specifies compliance type whether compliant or non-compliant.
• Compliant - Target nodes in this category have the same
