The Dell Repository Manager (DRM) ensures that the
Dell systems are up-to-date with the latest BIOS, driver, firmware,
and software. DRM allows you to:
Create repositories of customized bundles and updates
Create groups of related updates for systems running
Microsoft Windows Operating System (32 -bit and 64 -bit) and Linux Operating System
Generate comparison reports and update baselines of
custom repositories
The customized bundles and repositories contain Dell Update Packages
(DUPs) or Non-DUPs (such as .exe, .msi, .bin or any other file formats)
files. DUPs are software utilities provided by Dell to update specific
software and firmware components on Dell PowerEdge systems, Dell desktops, and
Dell laptops. You can arrange these components in bundles to group
the related updates together. Every repository has a catalog.xml or catalog.cab file that specifies the contents of that repository.
The catalog.cab file, downloaded from ftp.dell.com, is digitally signed
by Dell to ensure system security.
You can deploy the repository through bootable ISO
images, deployment scripts, or Server Update Utilities (SUU).
