26 Update Utility Creation
The source repository can be the
Dell Server Updates
DVD or the contents you
copy to a network share. You can also download the
Dell Server Updates
DVD
from Dell online using
Content Manager
.
To know more about the Content Manager, see "Content Manager."
NOTE: If you are using a USB key or a network location to save a copy of the
Dell Server Updates DVD, make sure you copy all the contents, including all the
folders in the same directory structure. The Update Utility Creation module will not
recognize the source within any sub-folder.
How do I Use The Customized Repository?

on a network share), access the customized repository from the system that
you want to update.

Anything Else I Should Know?
If you create multiple custom repositories in the same location
When you create multiple custom repositories on the same location, the
Update Utility Creation
module will create multiple folders, one for each
repository that you created. For example,
CustomRepository
,
CustomRepository1
,
CustomRepository2
, and so on.
If you are using a USB key as your destination location
If you are using a USB key as your destination location for update utility
creation, insert the USB key when you are prompted.

and Update Utility with the USB key inserted in your system.
