Just downloaded the Dell Data Center Repository Manager, and have a few questions from using it the first time. I have two types of PowerEdge rack servers that I want to update BIOS and Firmware prior to installing the Windows Server operating system.
1. Should I put both types of servers I have in a single Repository or is it a good practice to make a repository for each type of hardware?
2. What is the DUP Format? Asks me for Windows 32, 64, Linux or other OS? I plan to implement Windows Server 64bit once updated, but initially want to create a boot disk to update BIOS and Firmware. Which DUP Format should I select?
3. What is the additional optional bundles to include? I noticed for the PowerEdge R300 the individual files do not include a BIOS file update? Why is this, is it in the optional bundle? Should I always include the optional bundles?
Thanks for any help.
