3.4.6 Server Update Repositories Perspective

The Server Update Repositories perspective provides the facilities to add, edit and delete server update (YUM or IPS) repositories for a server pool. These repositories override any repositories for Oracle VM Servers set up in the Server Updates Group subtab of the Tools and Resources tab (seeSection 7.2, “Server Update Groups”). Before you can create a server update group for a server pool, make sure the server pool allows the global repositories to be overridden using the Override Global Server Update Group check box in the Edit Server Pool dialog box. See Section 3.3.1.4, “Edit Server Pool” for information on editing a server pool.

These options can be accessed using the toolbar at the top of the tab when you click on an item within the management pane table.

The following columns are displayed in the management pane:

  • Name: The name that has been configured for the repository.

  • Repository Name: The unique name that has been configured for the repository.

  • Enabled: Whether the repository is enabled.

  • Package Signature Type: The type of verification signature for the repository.

  • URL: The URL for the repository.

  • Description: The description that has been configured for the repository.

This perspective includes a toolbar that consists of the following options:
