Upgrading a DataPower Integration Appliance
This section provides information on using the WMC to upload minor and patch releases to a DataPower XH40 Integration Appliance. When you upgrade the appliance, you are able to access the latest features of the CIOS operating system. The upgrade process only replaces or adds necessary files, it does not destroy any data.
About this task
Note: Upgrades may also be applied through the Command Line Interface (CLI). See the
system update command in the CLI Reference Guide for more information
about using this option.
Procedure
- Obtain the latest patch, then download the appliance upgrade image file to a location you can access from your Windows workstation, for example: C:\Desktop.
- Use the WMC to log into the Integration Appliance running the CIOS.
- From the Items menu in the WMC, select System > Upgrade. The System Summary window is displayed showing the model, version and serial number.
- Click Upgrade Operating System. The Upgrade window is displayed.
- In the text field, specify the path to the appliance upgrade image file or click Browse to locate the upgrade image file.
- Click Upgrade. In the Upgrade panel, the following message is displayed: Upload in progress. Please wait. A progress bar displays the status of the upload. When the upload is complete, the WMC validates the upgrade. If the upgrade is successful, the appliance reboots.
- Use the WMC to log into the appliance. You may need to click the browser refresh button.
