On the Firmware Repository page, to choose the default repository for firmware updates, select one of the following:
- Dell Online
This uses the default firmware update repository of Dell online (ftp.dell.com) with a required staging folder. The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter downloads selected firmware updates and stores them in the staging folder, and then they are applied as necessary.
- Shared Network Folder
Hosts using Lifecycle Controller can update from a custom repository which is hosted on a accessible network shared folder. To create a custom repository, Dell recommends using Dell Repository Manager to create it and then save it to a shared location where the hosts and OpenManage Integration can access it. Enter the location of the repository's catalog file below.
