Managing catalogs
The catalog management feature in OME–Modular helps you to configure the catalog location and create firmware baselines. A
catalog contains metadata of the bundles and individual DUPs or packages. The bundles represent package sets that are tested
and certified together.
The catalogs can be sourced from the following locations:
● Dell website—You can specify the proxy parameters to enable the application to access the Internet from your network. The
proxy parameters include network address and optional credentials—user name and password. The proxy settings are
configured during initial setup or on the Application Settings > Network page.
Multiple catalogs could be posted on the Dell website.
● Network share or website location in your network—The network share consists of NFS, CIFS, HTTP, or HTTPS.
You can use the Repository Manager to create the catalog and store it on the network share. If you have the chassis
administrator privilege, you can view the list of catalogs and perform basic management tasks such as editing and deleting
the catalogs. You cannot delete a catalog that is associated with a baseline. If a catalog is inaccessible, an operational status
icon is displayed for the catalog.
NOTE:
When you create a catalog on a particular date and download it to the required location on your network or local
drive, the download is successful. However, if you modify the catalog on the same day at different times and attempt
