4. Select the catalog source. 5. In the Create Firmware Baseline window, select the devices and groups for which you want to create the baseline. After the baseline is created, a message is displayed and a compliance check is performed on the baseline. The status of the job is displayed on the Firmware page. NOTE: If the baseline is created from the catalog, the information of the associated baseline is displayed. Checking compliance To check the compliance of a firmware baseline: 1. On the Firmware page, select the baseline and click Check Compliance. A summary of the compliance check is displayed on the right side of the Firmware page. 2. Click View Report. The Compliance Report page is displayed. You can view details including the name of the catalog and baseline, status of the compliance, type of the baseline, name of the device, model, service tag of the device, current update version, and baseline version. You can perform the following tasks on the Compliance Report page: • Update firmware • Export the report in .csv format to a local drive on your system. • Sort the device information using Advanced Filters When you update the firmware for SAS IOMs that are available as an individual component and a chassis component, using the compliance report method, the management module update fails. Select the SAS IOM from the chassis component or the SAS IOM listed individually in the compliance report. Editing baselines To edit a baseline: 1. On the Firmware page, select the baseline that you want to modify and click Edit. The Edit Firmware Baseline window is displayed. 2. Make the required changes. 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 downloading it, the modified catalog is not downloaded. If the repository type is NFS and the catalog file is not available on the specified NFS server, the system uses the catalog file that was last fetched. To view the list of catalogs: On the Firmware page, click Catalog Management. The Catalog Management page is displayed. Managing firmware 87

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
downloading it, the modified catalog is not downloaded. If the repository type is NFS and the catalog file is not available
on the specified NFS server, the system uses the catalog file that was last fetched.
