Upgrading a Dell Integration Appliance

This section provides information on using the WMC to upload minor and patch releases to a Dell Integration Appliance. When you upgrade the appliance, you are able to access the latest features of the CIOS. This upgrade process only replaces or adds necessary files, it does not destroy any data.

About this task

Use the Web Management Console (WMC) to upgrade to the latest version of CIOS by uploading an upgrade image onto the appliance. Please note that the WMC forces any running projects to be undeployed and stops any active orchestration jobs currently running on the appliance during the upgrade procedure. After the appliance is upgraded, you cannot undo or rollback to the previous version.
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

  1. Request the latest patch and download the patch to a location where you can access it. For example: C:\Desktop
  2. Using the WMC, log into the Dell Integration Appliance that you want to upgrade.
  3. Select System > Upgrade. The Upgrade page displays.
  4. Click the Upgrade Operating System link. The Upgrade Wizard launches.
  5. Click Browse to locate the upgrade file.
  6. Click Upgrade. The Integration Appliance uploads the upgrade file and starts the upgrade process. When the upgrade is complete, the Integration Appliance automatically reboots.
  7. When the reboot is complete, the WMC Login page displays. If the page does not display, click the browser refresh button.

What to do next

Using the WMC, redeploy any projects that were undeployed by this upgrade procedure. Upgrade to a Studio version compatible with the installed CIOS. For more information about appliance and Studio compatibility, see the Compatibility section of the App Connect Operating System Release Notes or the App Connect Studio Release Notes. For the procedure on upgrading Studio, see Installing Studio.
