Steps

  1. To prepare a downloaded .zip file for a remote upgrade, follow these steps.
    1. Log on to the Management Client and select Menu > File > Import > Import Engine Upgrades.
    2. Select the engine upgrade (sg_engine_version_platform.zip) file and click Import.
      Note: The Management Server verifies the digital signature of the .zip file before importing it. The signature must be valid for the import to succeed. If the verification fails, an error message is shown. Verification failure can result from an out-of-date SMC version or an invalid or missing signature.
      The status bar at the bottom of the Management Client window shows the progress of the import.
  2. To prepare a downloaded .zip file for a local upgrade, copy the file to the root directory of a USB drive or a DVD.
  3. To prepare a downloaded .iso file for a local upgrade, create the installation DVD for the engines with a DVD burning application that can correctly read and burn the DVD structure stored in the .iso images.
    If the end result is a DVD file with the original .iso file on it, the DVD cannot be used for installation.

  • Upgrade the engine locally at the engine site.
