Explanation:

To upgrade OpenManage Enterprise without Internet access, you can use a Network File System (NFS) share that the appliance can access.

Here’s how to perform the upgrade:

Prepare NFS Share: Set up an NFS share on a server that the OpenManage Enterprise appliance can access. Ensure that the NFS share is properly configured with the necessary permissions.

Download Update Packages: From a system with Internet access, download the update packages for OpenManage Enterprise from Dell’s official website1.

Transfer to NFS Share: Copy the downloaded update packages to the NFS share.

Access OpenManage Enterprise GUI: Log into the OpenManage Enterprise appliance’s graphical user interface (GUI).

Navigate to Update Section: Go to the update section within the GUI where you can manage appliance updates.

Specify NFS Share: Choose the option to upgrade from an NFS share and provide the path to the NFS share where the update packages are located.

Initiate Upgrade: Follow the prompts to initiate the upgrade process using the files from the NFS share.

This method allows you to upgrade the appliance in environments where direct Internet access is not available, ensuring that your OpenManage Enterprise appliance is running the latest version with all the security and functionality updates1.
