The product catalog contains information about all firmware updates that are available for all devices that Lenovo XClarity Administrator supports, including chassis, servers, and Flex switches.
Before you begin
An Internet connection is required to refresh the product catalog.
Refreshing the catalog might take several minutes to complete.
About this task
When you refresh the catalog, XClarity Administrator retrieves information about the latest available firmware updates from the Lenovo XClarity Support website and stores the information to the firmware-updates repository.
Refreshing the catalog only adds information about available firmware updates to the repository. It does not download the update packages. You must download the firmware updates to make the updates available for installation. For more information about downloading updates, see Downloading firmware updates.

From the XClarity Administrator menu bar, click Provisioning > Firmware Updates: Repository. The Firmware Updates Repository page is displayed.
Click the Individual Updates tab to retrieve information about individual firmware-update packages, or click the UpdateXpress System Pack (UXSP) tab to retrieve information about UXSPs.
