Repository configurations
The default for System Update is to obtain update packages from the Lenovo Help
Center Web site. You can change the setting to enable System Update to search and
download update packages from a local system repository folder or a network
share repository folder individually. You can also configure System Update to
search multiple locations for packages from Lenovo Help Center Web site, a local
system repository, and a network share repository folder.
Creating a local system repository: System Update has the capability to search
for update packages that are stored locally on a client or administrator system, or
external media.
Using %ANYDRV%: The %ANYDRV% variable can be used instead of specifying
a drive letter when setting the repository path. To create a local system repository
folder using %ANYDRV%, complete the following steps:
1.
Create a new folder on a local hard disk drive to be used as the repository, for
example:
%ANYDRV%\SystemUpdate3_x\
2. Navigate to the following registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\
UserSettings\General\RepositoryLocation1
3. Replace the default SUPPORTCENTER value with the file path of the
repository that you created in Step 1, for example:
%ANYDRV%\SystemUpdate3_x\
Using %XMEDIA%: The %XMEDIA% variable can be used to detect the
repository location path on external media connected to the system such as a CD,
DVD, USB storage device, hard disk drive, or diskettes. To create a local system
repository folder using %XMEDIA% complete the following steps:
1.
Create a new folder on a local hard disk drive to be used as the repository, for
example:
%XMEDIA%\SystemUpdate3_x\
2. Navigate to the following registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\
UserSettings\General\RepositoryLocation1
3. Replace the default SUPPORTCENTER value with the file path of the
repository that you created in Step 1, for example:
%XMEDIA%\SystemUpdate3_x\
Creating a network share repository: To create a network share repository folder
that will be used to store update packages on a network share, complete the
following steps:
1.
Create a new folder on a network share to be used as the repository.
2. Share the new repository folder using the UNC (Universal Naming
Convention) path. The UNC path provides connectivity to all computers that
have been mapped to the repository. The format for a UNC path is:
\\Server\Share\
For example: \\Server_X\TVSU_repository\
