Dell R510 - Gen 11 - Update / EMC Repository Manager issues
So ive got an old Dell R510 running ESXI and its working great, however bios is 1.6.3 and a lot of other stuff could do with an update as well.
Ive been trying to use the Dell EMC repository manager but with no luck... ive followed this guide
but to no avail, i can create repositories just fine, but i cant export them, SUU ISO returns bundles/repositories not valid for this distribution, if i just export the catalogue in "share" and dump it on an usb in USC on the R510 it does not find the catalog on the USB.
Ive tried adding my service tag to EMC, and then i still cant create a windows32 distribution iso(thats what im supposed to do, as per above guide, right?), so im at my wits end, how do i get to upgrade my R510?

Hello
The easiest method would probably be to choose Linux update packages. Then later on you can choose to create a bootable repository when exporting. That will create a CentOS distro that you can boot to and run the updates from. There are many ways that it can be done.

Worked like a charm.. at least for a service tag generated iso..
Gonna try to do it with r510 generals one of these days and see if i can get LC updated as well.
But that guide i refered to in my op is wrong and should be removed from typical solutions..
