a. Change the "Firmware Upgrade - Repository Path" in the system parameters page to a new dedicated mount point.
b. The system parameter "Firmware Upgrade - Local Node IP Address" contains the address which monitored devices should access DPOD via SSH

make sure the address is correct and each monitored device can access this address via ssh (port 22)
c. The system parameters "Firmware Upgrade - OS User Name" and "Firmware Upgrade - OS User Password" contain the user and password that will be used to access DPOD via SSH,

For Appliance Installation - The user is initially locked, you will need to unlock the user, change its password and update the system parameter.
