Important
If you have multiple appliances, and:
● They are running version 7.8.1 or 7.8.2
● And, you plan to download the upgrade patch and then
upload it to other appliances
You need to apply hotfix 10 before you upload the upgrade
patch. Hotfix 10 removes a file size limit that otherwise
prevents the patch file from successfully uploading from
the local storage location. This problem does not exist in
v7.8.3; no hotfix is available or needed for that version.
To apply hotfix 10:
1. In the Appliance manager, go to
Administration > Patches /
Hotfixes > Hotfixes
.
2. Locate and download the hotfix 10 rpm package.
■ If the appliance is running 7.8.1, enter
APP-7.8.1-010
and
click
Find
.
■ If the appliance is running 7.8.2, enter
APP-7.8.2-010
and
click
Find
.
3. After locating the correct hotfix, click
Download
.
4. Click
Install
to install the hotfix.
5. After installation is complete, restart the appliance.
After hotfix 10 is installed, to upload a patch on the appliance you
must use Internet Explorer 11 or higher, or Chrome 11 or higher,
or Firefox 4 or higher.
