Hi,
You can also create a custom repository using Dell Repository Manager which
contains a custom catalog as well and then point DSU to use it offline. The
following command need to be used:
dsu --source-type=PDK --source=/mnt/DRM_REPO/
Hope it helps. Let us know if you face any issue.
Regards,
Sashi

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] DSU Catalog creation
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi,
We recently discovered DSU tool which is very good for our purpose of keeping
our servers up-to-date in an easy and effective way. We have thousands of Dell
servers here and not all of them have access to the internet. It does not mean
that we are not updating them.
We downloaded the dell hardware repository as well as the Catalog file. It
appears that all downloads from within DSU are done to the internet and not
from our local repo.
Here is our command line:
dsu --catalog-location=/root/Catalog_Ubuntu.gz
--source=http://internal.server.domain.com/dell/repo/hardware
--source-type=repository --ic-location=/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/invcol
Since the Catalog downloaded from dell.com points all firmware files to
dell.com, download of the BIN file is not possible with no internet.
QUESTION: is it possible to build our own Catalog file that points downloads to
our local repo? Can't find this answer anywhere.
Thanks.

Hi Patrice - Yes. It is possible.
1. Just replace the baseurl entry on 1st line in the Catalog.xml file to "
internal.domain.com/path". This may not be used by DSU but atleast you would
prevent the from reaching internet.
2. Next, write a wrapper script to perform the following.
# wget -qO- http://internal.domain.com/Catalog.xml
# dsu --non-interactive --catalog-location=Catalog.xml --source-location=
http://internal.domain.com/hardware --source-type=REPOSITORY
--apply-upgrades-only --log-level=4
--output-log-file=/tmp/dsu.$HOSTNAME_YYYYMMD.log
The above command will simply update from your internal repo.
