Overview

OS repository allows us to manage the OS images and other files(license, bootfile) that are used for OS Upgrades. It can be accessed going to

(1) Build -> (2) OS Repository

Steps to add new image

(1) Build -> OS repository -> (2) Create -> (3) OS name -> (4) Vendor type -> (5) Select the Device type -> (6) Save

This would create an entry in the OS Form

Editing the entry added

Status: Production

Either select the file from the OS file name drop down or Upload a new file -> Save

Once the image is uploaded, the other values(md5, size, storage) are auto populated.

To add optional information click on "Show OS Image Details"
