Configure the Appliance and Perform Offline Upgrade

Configure the VMware Identity Manager appliance to point to the local Web server to perform an offline upgrade. Then upgrade the appliance.

Prerequisites

Prepare a Local Web Server for Offline Upgrade.

Procedure

Log in to the VMware Identity Manager appliance as the root user.
Run the following command to configure an upgrade repository that uses a local Web server.
```
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatelocal.hzn seturl http://YourWebServer/VM/
		  
```
Note: To undo the configuration and restore the ability to perform an online upgrade, you can run the following command.
```
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatelocal.hzn setdefault
```
Perform the upgrade.
1. Run the following updatemgr.hzn command.
```
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn updateinstaller
```
2. Run the following command.
```
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn update
```
  Messages that occur during the upgrade are saved to the update.log file at /opt/vmware/var/log/update.log.
3. Run the updatemgr.hzn check command again to verify that a newer update does not exist.
```
/usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn check
```
4. Check the version of the upgraded appliance.
```
vamicli version --appliance
```
  The command should display the new version.
5. Restart the virtual appliance.
  For example, from the command line run the following command.
  
  reboot

Results

The upgrade is complete.
