• From XClarity Management Hub
  1. Download the management-server update-package file (.tgz) from the XClarity Management Hub downloads webpage to a workstation that has a network connection to the XClarity Management Hub host.

  2. From the XClarity Management Hub main menu, click Maintenance (), and then click XClarity Management Hub Updates to display the Management Server Updates card.

     Management-server updates that are earlier than the currently installed version are listed in the table with an applied status of “Not applicable” and cannot be applied to the XClarity Management Hub.

     
     
     
  3. Click the Import icon () to display the Import dialog.
  4. Drag and drop the entire update-package file (.tgz) to the Import dialog, or click Browse to locate the file.

     Importing the update files might take a while. You must remain on the card until the import process completes. Navigating away from the card aborts the import process.

  6. From the Management Hub Files card, select the update package that you want to install.
  7. Click the Apply Update icon ().
  8. Wait for the update to complete and XClarity Management Hub to restart. The update process might take a while.
     If you have access to the virtual appliance host, you can monitor the progress from the virtual-appliance console, for example:
