Failure to import driver on Repository Manager 1.8
Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to setup and use the Dell Repository Manager (v 1.8), however, after I've created the repository and bundles, I can't find the driver for the Perc 6/i for our R710s. It has the driver for the H700 however. Since the driver is missing, I tried to import it into the correct R710 bundle. The server it's currently running on is a VM running Server 2012 R2. Here's how I'm doing it and how it fails:
1) I click the Import button
2) I search for the driver I downloaded from Dell (Windows Update file) and click OK
3) After it "thinks" for a few seconds, I get the following error:
Here's the text in the log file:
0 3 0 2 CORP-IT-DRM-1 BundleImpl.AddComponent: Error adding SAS-RAID_Firmware_F96NR_WN32_6.3.3-0002_X00.EXE to bundle "System Bundle (Windows x64)PER710 v490" due to validation error: ERROR_INVALID_TYPE
What am I doing wrong? I should mention that the bundle for the R620s that we have include the correct RAID SAS firmware, so I'm really not sure why the R710 would cause an issue.

Are you saying that I should then just create a 32-bit driver bundle for a 64-bit server, or that I'm out of luck?

The x64 DUPs are updates in native Microsoft Windows 64-bit format that do not require Microsoft WOW64 be installed on the Windows OS.
All supported Windows x32 DUPs can be used on any Windows 64-bit OS that have WOW64 installed.
If your Windows 64-bit OS has WOW64 installed then you can install the x32 DUP for the Perc 6/i driver.
Hope it helps in your environment. Otherwise you will need to wait for the x64 DUP.

The component that you are trying to add is a Windows x32 DUP. But the bundle is a Windows x64 bundle.
So you are getting an invalid type error.
Unfortunately there is no x64 DUP for the Perc 6/i yet.
