8 Repository Management
Configuring the Repository
The HP Management Repository is used to store software components, system images, diagnostic tools
and agent files. Each of the individual items stored in the Repository is referred to as an element. Once
elements are stored in the Repository, they can be applied to client devices using templates.
The HP Management Repository actually resides over several servers, these being the HP Management
Server Repository (the "Server Repository") and one or more FTP Server Repositories (the "FTP
Repository"). The Repository Management tool is used to import elements into the Server Repository
and then transfer them to the relevant FTP Repository. An element must be transferred to an FTP
Repository before it can be applied to clients.
When you log in the HP Device Manager Console for the first time you will be automatically prompted
to create an FTP Repository using the FTP Repository Wizard as described below. If you need to
create an additional FTP Repository later, you can run the FTP Repository Wizard again by
selecting Tools > Configuration from the Console’s menu bar, selecting FTP Repositories in the left-
hand tree pane, then clicking the Launch FTP Wizard button in the top-right corner.
