The reason we use the phrase "Tech Release" is that it currently does not have feature parity with OMEssentials. Later this year we will reach a 'cutover' point where OMEnterprise has caught up, and all new development will be there. Bug fixes for OMEssentials will continue as necessary.

Thanks for sharing this. Makes me want to spent time and try out OME. I used the 64bit EXEs in iDRAC just recently for the first time wondering how the iDRAC can handle EXEs?!?! :) It worked though. Is OME available for GNU/Linux? On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 12:37 PM, Cameron Smith

For localizing the repo you can look into Dell Repo Manager: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/ DriversDetails?driverId=2GY7P You can customize the repo if you need to hold back a version for anything and it's a great tool. Runs on Linux now!!! For firmware updates I used to

Hello all - Is there a document that lists how the fw updates are verified before applied? I see that Catalog.xml has md5hash but couldn't find a document that says it is verified. Also does DSU or DRM check digital signatures or does Dell leave it for end-users to do it onm their own by
