Installing Media Excelerator Patches

Complete the steps in the following sections for each appliance on which you are installing Media Excelerator.


Downloading the Latest Patches

IMPORTANT:  Volera provides URLs to the latest product patches with each license purchased. The URLs must be applied in the order listed.

You should always install all product patches before configuring and using an Excelerator product.

Complete the following steps:

  1. In the browser-based tool, select System > Upgrade, and then select Enable Download.

  2. In the Install from URL field, type the first Download URL received on the Thank You page and in the confirmation e-mail.

  3. Double-check the URL to ensure you typed it correctly.

  4. From the Download Time drop-down list, select the time you want the download to occur.

  5. Select Enable Install.

  6. From the Install Time drop-down list, select the time you want the upgrade installed.

  7. Click Apply.

    The upgrade process always restarts the appliance, temporarily disconnecting the browser-based tool.

  8. After the appliance restarts, reconnect to the appliance using the browser-based management tool. Repeat this process for any other URLs received on the Thank You page and in the confirmation e-mail.

  9. After all product patches have been applied, continue with Updating the Appliance 's Backup System Image .


Updating the Appliance's Backup System Image

You should update the appliance's clone image as soon as possible after you complete an upgrade.

  1. Reconnect to the appliance using the browser-based management tool.

  2. Click System > Actions > Update Clone > Update Clone.

    This prevents the system from being overwritten by an earlier version.
