Upgrade OMIVV appliance and repository location

To ensure that all data is protected, perform a backup of the OMIVV database before updating the OMIVV appliance. See Manage backup and restore.
The OMIVV appliance requires Internet connection to display the available upgrade mechanisms and perform the RPM upgrade. Ensure that the OMIVV appliance has Internet connection. If you require a proxy network, based on the environment network settings, enable the proxy settings, and enter the proxy data. See the Setting up the HTTP proxy topic in User's Guide.
Ensure that the Update Repository Path is valid.
Ensure that you log out from all vSphere Client (HTML-5) sessions to the registered vCenter servers.
Before logging into to any of the registered vCenter servers, ensure that you update all appliances simultaneously under the same Platform Service Controller (PSC) before logging in to any of the registered vCenter servers. Else, you may see inconsistent information across OMIVV instances.

In the APPLIANCE UPDATE section of the APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, verify the current and available OMIVV version.

For the available OMIVV appliance version, the applicable RPM and OVF OMIVV appliance upgrade mechanisms are displayed with a tick mark [].

The following are the possible upgrade mechanism options available for you to perform either of the tasks for the upgrade mechanism:

Option	Description
1	If a tick mark is displayed against RPM, you can do an RPM upgrade from the existing version to the latest available version. See Upgrade OMIVV appliance using RPM (using Internet).
2	If a tick mark is displayed against OVF, you can take a backup of the OMIVV database from the existing version, and restore it in the latest available appliance version. See Upgrade OMIVV appliance using backup and restore.
3	If a tick mark is displayed against both RPM and OVF, you can perform either of the mentioned options to upgrade your appliance. In this scenario, the recommended option is RPM upgrade.

To update the OMIVV appliance, perform the mentioned tasks for the upgrade mechanisms as applicable from the version of OMIVV.
