IBM Endpoint Manager, Version 9.2

Adding a repository or SMT

Add a custom repository or a Subscription Management Tool (SMT) server into the dashboard repository list so that you can register and connect it to endpoints.

Before you begin

Activate the Repository Configuration - SUSE Linux Enterprise analysis.
Run the Enable custom repository support - SUSE Linux Enterprise task.

Procedure

From the SLE Custom Repository Management dashboard, click the Repositories tab.
Click Add.
From the Add a New Repository dialog, select the repository type that you want to add.
Note: Ensure that the repository settings match the repository server configuration.
- If you are adding a standard repository, enter values for the following fields:
  - Repository Name
  - Repository URL
  Figure 1. Adding a repository
- If you are adding an SMT server, enter values for the following fields:
  - SMT Server Name
  - SMT Server URL
  - clientSetup4SMT script URL
  Figure 2. Adding an SMT
Note: When you enter the SMT Server URL, the clientSetup4SMT script URL is generated automatically. This script is provided with SMT to configure endpoints to use the SMT server or to reconfigure it to use a different SMT server.
Click Save.

What to do next

To connect the added repository to an endpoint, see Registering endpoints to a repository or SMT.

If you want to add all the known existing repositories of an endpoint, both SMTs and standard repositories, to the dashboard list, use the Import feature. For more information, see Importing repositories or SMTs.
