Repository Management
Repository Manager allows you to create customized repositories that you can
use to update Dell™ PowerEdge™ systems. A repository is a collection of
Dell components that can be updated. These components can be arranged in
bundles to group related updates together. Every repository has a catalog.xml
file that specifies the contents of a repository.
Using Repository Manager you can:
• Create a new or custom repository
• Import an existing repository
• Compare available repositories
• Save the repository
You can then deploy the repository through bootable ISO images,
raw driver packs, and deployment scripts.
