Upgrading OMIVV from existing version to current version
Steps
In the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, depending on your network settings, enable proxy and provide proxy settings if your network needs proxy. See Setting up HTTP proxy.
To upgrade the OpenManage Integration plug in from an existing version to the current version, perform one of the following steps:
- To upgrade using RPM that is available in Update Repository Path, ensure that Update Repository Path is set to the path: http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/. If the path is different, in the Appliance Management window, in the APPLIANCE UPDATE area, click Edit to update the path to http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/ in the Update Repository Path text box. To save, click Apply.
- To upgrade using the latest downloaded RPM folders or files if there is no internet connectivity, download all the files and folders from the http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/ path and copy them to an HTTP share. In the Appliance Management window, in the APPLIANCE UPDATE section, click Edit, and then in the Update Repository Path text box, include the path to the offline HTTP share, and click Apply.
Compare the available virtual appliance version and current virtual appliance version and ensure that the available virtual appliance version is greater than the current virtual appliance version.
To apply the update to the virtual appliance, under Appliance Settings, click Update Virtual Appliance.
In the UPDATE APPLIANCE dialog box, click Update.
