OpenManage Enterprise 4.0.x User's Guide

Create the directory structure and download the update bundles

Create the directory structure required for offline software updates.

1. Open https://downloads.dell.com/openmanage_enterprise/ in a browser to display the contents of the upgrade repository.
2. Click the folder of the OpenManage Enterprise version that you want to upgrade to, and note whether the update contains a full or a minimal folder.
   NOTE:Depending on the size of the update file (and subsequently, the time it would take to update the software), some OpenManage Enterprise versions will contain a full folder and others will contain a minimal folder. The full update bundle contains the full upgrade packages and typically takes much longer than a minimal update. The minimal update bundle is typically a patch release and only contains specific upgrade packages.
3. Create a folder on your local network share for <OMEUpdates>.
4. Copy the structure of the version folder in the upgrade repository to the <OMEUpdates> folder on your local network share.
   In your local network share <OMEUpdates> folder:

   1. Create a folder for the OpenManage Enterprise software version that you want to upgrade to. Make sure your local version folder is named the same as it is in the upgrade repository. For example, to update to OpenManage Enterprise version 3.10, create ...<NetworkShare>/<OMEUpdates>/3.10/.
   2. Copy the latest LexingtonUpdates.xml and LexingtonUpdates.xml.asc files from the upgrade repository to your local software version folder.
   3. Create either a full or a minimal folder, depending on which of these folders is in the required version folder in the upgrade repository. For example, to update to OpenManage Enterprise:
      • Version 3.9.2, create ...<NetworkShare>/<OMEUpdates>/3.9.2/minimal.
      • Version 3.10, create ...<NetworkShare>/<OMEUpdates>/3.10/full.
   4. Copy the OpenManage Enterprise update files from the upgrade repository to your local network share full or minimal folder.
