Portal updates

When using Lenovo XClarity One as a local virtual machine, it is important to keep the portal up to date with the latest release.

Manually updates

If XClarity One is not connected the Internet, you can manually update the portal by completing the following steps.

You can update XClarity One to only the next ordinal release, for example from v1.0 to v1.1 or v1.1 to v1.2. You cannot skip releases when updating the portal.

During the update process, all users are signed out of the portal when the portal restarts. Wait several minutes until the restart completes. Then, clear the web browser cache and refresh the web browser before signing in again.

Note
  • You can update XClarity One to only the next ordinal release, for example from v1.0 to v1.1 or v1.1 to v1.2. You cannot skip releases when updating the portal.

  • During the update process, all users are signed out of the portal when the portal restarts. Wait several minutes until the restart completes. Then, clear the web browser cache and refresh the web browser before signing in again.

  • If you encounter a 413 error (entity too large) when you attempt to upload the portal update package, increase the number of processors on the VM. For example, if your VM has 2 processors, increase the VM to 4 processors.

Download the portal update package from the XClarity One downloads webpage to a workstation that has a network connection to the XClarity One host server. The update package is a .tar.gz or .tgz archive that contains the four required update files: update image (.tgz or .tar.gz), metadata (.xml), change log (.chg), and readme (.txt).

Import and install the update by clicking Maintenance from the context menu on the Settings view.

Importing the update files might take a while. When the import is complete, the update package is listed in the table on the portal update panel.

After the update completes, clear the web browser cache, and refresh the web browser.
