Tools to Manage and Update Images
A number of tools are available to help manage and update images and insert ISO to the Virtual Machine (VM).
Topics:
• Upgrade the CVP Image
• Redeploy CVP VM Tool
• Redeploy the CVX VM Tool
• Upgrade the Host Image
• Steps to Upgrade the CVA
Upgrade the CVP Image
The easiest way to upgrade the CVP Image is perform a CVP Fast Upgrade. This upgrade option does not require
that the VMs be redeployed, and does not result in loss of the logs.
Note: Fast upgrades are supported only when upgrading from version 2016.1.1 (or later) of the CVP
application. You cannot use fast upgrades if you are using a version of CVP prior to 2016.1.1.
To use the CVP fast upgrade option, complete the procedure in the “Fast Upgrades” section of the Backup &
Restore, Upgrades, DNS / NTP Server Migration chapter in the CVP Configuration Guide.
If it is not possible for you to use the CVP fast upgrade option, use the procedure in Redeploy CVP VM Tool in
this section.
Redeploy CVP VM Tool
This tool allows redeployment of the CVP VM in the event:
• Something goes wrong during deployment.
• If you want to do a destructive upgrade. Used to delete the virtual CVP disks.
