Configuring VBDownload
The VBDownload application is used to upgrade VBrick appliances. When you click on the
setup executable, the application files are automatically installed in
Program Files/VBrick
/
VB6000
or
VBrick 7000-8000-9000
. If you have both VB6000 Series devices and VBrick
7000-8000-9000 devices present, the application will default to the
VBrick 7000-8000-9000
folder. Experienced VBrick users can modify this default behavior by creating a new shortcut
for VBDownload that uses
VB6000
as the default folder.
