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.
Q: What will happen if I create multiple custom repositories in the same
location?
A: 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.
Q: I want to use a USB key as the destination location.
A: If you are using a USB key as your destination location for update utility
creation, insert the USB key when you are prompted.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not boot your system to Systems Build and
Update Utility with the USB key inserted in your system. This is because the
Systems Build and Update Utility may not detect a USB key that is inserted
before you boot the utility.
