The IPS repositories must be set up within the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface, so that the upgrade script can identify them accurately and use them to perform the upgrade on the specified Oracle VM Servers. The repositories are called server update repositories in the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface.
Use the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface to create two server update repositories, one for each repository. Make sure you create these server update repositories in the Sparc server update group. The following tables contain the information you need to create the server update repositories using the Create Server Update Repository dialog box.
Full instructions for creating a server update repository in the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface are provided in Create New Server Update Repository in the Oracle VM Manager User's Guide.
