30 RESTful Server Configuration with iDRAC RESTful API

<Attribute Name="RepositoryUpdate">Profiles/Repositories/</Attribute>

</Component>

</SystemConfiguration>

If our <Share name> is called “http_root” we can use “find” to display the directories and files to get an idea of

the folder structure.

[root@localhost http_root]# find .

./Profiles

./Profiles/Repositories

./Profiles/Repositories/BIOS_firmware_WN64_1.0.3.EXE

./Profiles/Repositories/Catalog.xml

./Profiles/SCP_with_firmware_repo.xml

Running an import of this SCP file will result in a Repository update job as per the below iDRAC9 screenshot:
