Prerequisites
Ensure that you are upgrading to a version of the appliance that is greater than the current one.
Steps
- On the
APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT page, based on your network settings, enable proxy and enter proxy setting data, if necessary. See
.
For the available OMIVV appliance version, the applicable RPM and OVF OMIVV appliance upgrade mechanisms are displayed with a tick mark [
].
- To upgrade the OMIVV plug-in from an existing version to the available 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:
https://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 https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/ in the Update Repository Path text box, and click Apply.
- To upgrade using RPM that is available in
Update Repository Path, ensure that
Update Repository Path is set to the path:
https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/vcenter-plugin-x64/latest/
- Compare the available OMIVV appliance version and current OMIVV appliance version.
- To apply the update to the OMIVV appliance, under Appliance Settings, click Update Virtual Appliance.
- In the
UPDATE APPLIANCE dialog box, click
Update.
After you click Update, you are logged out from the ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE window.
- Close the web browser.
Once the appliance is RPM upgraded, ensure that you clear the browser cache before logging in to the Dell admin portal.
Results
NOTE During the upgrade process, the appliance restarts once or twice.
NOTE After the RPM upgrade is complete, you can view the login screen in the OMIVV console. Open a browser, enter the
https:\\<ApplianceIP|hostname> link, and go to the
APPLIANCE UPDATE area. You can verify that the available and current OMIVV appliance versions are same. If you have enabled Proactive HA on clusters, OMIVV unregisters the Dell Inc provider for those clusters and re-registers the Dell Inc provider after upgrade. Health updates for the Dell EMC hosts are not available until upgrade is complete.
