Image Repository
The Image repository manages firmware updates to deploy to devices in your network, or
configurations you want to deploy to several devices.
You must add such files to your NMS200 system before you can deploy them. The summary
screen listing these images displays their Name, Description, File Name, Image Type and
Installed Date. Right-clicking this screen displays the following menu items:
• New —Select either Firmware Image, or Conf
iguration Image. Firmware Image displays
the Firmware Image Editor screen. Configuration Images originate from Configuration
Files that are promoted to mass restore. See the Configuration Image Editor on p
age 174
for its functionality.
• Edit — Displays the selected Firmware image in the Firmware Image Editor screen, or the
Configuration Image Editor if the selected line is a configuration image.
• Deploy — Deploys the selected file to devices, and with the options you select in a
subsequen
t selection screen. For this to function, you must have enabled a server, as
described in File Management on p
age 191.
• Download Fi
rmware For — Some devices (typically Dell) support downloading firmware
from the internet. These devices appear listed in a sub-menu. Select the type for which
you want to download OS images, and NMS200 automatically downloads them.

Expanded Image Repository portlet.
When you click the plus, this portlet expands to d
isplay the OS images list, a snap panel
Reference tree of the connections to devices, and another panel listing the files within the
selected image.
Firmware Image Editor
When you open or create an OS image, its configuration appears in this editor. The General
Parameters tab contains its OS Image Name, Description, Version, and the Device Class and
Device Family. The Image Files tab displays a selector that lets you create new OS Images,
retrieving files from the local file system (Import from Disk) or a URL (Import from URL).
Because such images can consist of multiple files, you can import multiple files here. Finally,
you can also import a Readme File to accompany this image, and view it in that tab.
