To mirror catalog packages for 32-bit RHEL targets such as rhel-5-i386, the mirroring process
automatically mirrors the packages of all compatible 32-bit architectures such as i386, i586,
i686, and noarch.
To mirror catalog packages for 64-bit RHEL targets such as rhel-5-x86_64 to a given bundle,
the packages for 32-bit architecture are added as target rhel-5-i386 in the bundle. You must
convert targets of all the 32-bit architecture packages in the mirrored bundle from 32-bit to the
corresponding 64-bit target by using the
For example, to convert all the 32-bit architecture packages from rhel-5-i386 to the
corresponding rhel-5-x86_64 target, you must run the

You can mirror Dell software, and Dell drivers and updates such as BIOS and firmware, from the
YUM - based OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) repository to update the Dell PowerEdge
Linux servers that are running on Dell supported RHEL or SLES platforms. These updates for SLES
and RHEL devices are available on the officially supported YUM repository for OpenManage at the
Dell Linux Repository
You can add the YUM service to the managed device and manually install these software from the
repository by using the
rug sa -t yum repo-md_URL_from_where_you_want_to_mirror service_name
For example, to manually install the software from
latest/platform_independent/suse10_64/
rug sa -t yum http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/platform_independent/
suse10_64/
To mirror these updates for a specific device model, you must configure a YUM subscription.
