Working With Bundles
A bundle is a collection of Dell Update Packages (DUPs), called components, that are related to a certain platform, for
example, Dell PowerEdge R410 and operating system, Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
You can use Dell Repository Manager to:
• Create or import and customize bundle(s).
• Clone existing bundle(s).
• Compare bundle(s).
• Export bundle(s) to external repositories or deploy them to applicable systems in the form of bootable ISOs,
deployment packs, driver packs, or a fully functional Server Update Utility (SUU).
The list of bundle(s), created or imported, appear in the Bundles screen. You can sort the list of bundle(s) based on the
name of the bundle, version, operating system, or date on which the bundle(s) were created, size, author, server
generation, and brand of the bundle(s).
You can view the number of bundle(s) in the list and the number of bundle(s) you select, at the top of the list. The
numbers are displayed in the Selected/Total: format. The name of the repository to which the bundles belong, is
displayed at the top of the bundles list.

You can add bundle from repositories to the repository you select. You can add bundle(s) by:
• Directly importing the bundle from one repository to another repository.
