- 1603 patch and Update is a prerequisite

- Use the Patch and Update framework to apply software and firmware updates. The Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft includes the Patch and Update (P&U) framework. This framework enables you to easily update the infrastructure components of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp. The framework automates the installation of software, driver, and firmware updates on the physical hosts and the infrastructure VMs.

- Run the update package during a scheduled maintenance window when there is low activity. There is associated downtime for the infrastructure VMs if the package installs updates that require a server restart on the VMs.

- The patch and update mechanism does not target tenant workloads for software updates, so tenant VMs should not typically experience downtime. However, if an update package contains driver and firmware updates, there may be associated downtime. Check the information that is provided with the update package.

- Complete a full backup prior to installing the Patch and Update

- Disable backups and tenant creation before starting the Patch and Update install
