HPE Data Management Framework (DMF) Suite - HPE Update Server Setup

Oct.2019 Update: DMF Suite patches are moving to a more secure system, update1.linux.hpe.com, which requires both an email and a token for access. As new products are released, patches for those products will be released to the new server; patches for older releases will be available at the new location as well as at the current locations at download.linux.hpe.com. The HPE Data Management Framework (DMF) Suite combines the following software into a single distribution: HPE Data Management Framework (DMF) version 7 HPE Data Management Framework (DMF) version 6 HPE Extents File System (XFS) Enhanced Network File System (NFS) The single distribution improves product interoperability and reduces the administration of product dependencies. An active warranty or support contract is required to access DMF Suite product updates. The email associated with the HPE Passport account must be supplied as the username, and a user-generated token must be supplied as the http password to access this repository. If you have a valid warranty or support contract, log in with your HPE Passport credentials and generate your token here. After you have a valid token, you may access the DMF Suite repository via your web browser, yum, or zypper using the following http URL syntax:     https://EMAIL:TOKEN@update1.linux.hpe.com/repo/dmfsuite DMF Suite releases are available via the HPE Support Center. View your existing contracts and warranties or get help linking contracts or warranties to your HPE Support Center user profile. To obtain additional support coverage, please contact your local HPE office, contact your HPE representative, or visit Contact HPE. Click here for more information.

URL Encoded Emails

In order for the yum and zypper to pass the correct email address to the authentication protocols on the Software Delivery Repository, email addresses in the *.repo files must be URL encoded. For most email addresses, changing the "@" to "%40" is sufficient. For instance, "john.smith@company.com" would be entered as "john.smith%40company.com" in the *.repo file. You may use the URL encoded values from the list below or use an online tool like URL Decode and Encode to help encode your email address.

    @ = %40      & = %26      / = %2F      ` = %60      space = %20
    ! = %21      ' = %27      = = %3D      { = %7B      , = %2C
    # = %23      * = %2A      ? = %3F      | = %7C      . = .
    $ = %24      + = %2B      ^ = %5E      } = %7D
    % = %25      - = -        _ = _        ~ = ~
