Download Virtual Appliance Updates for Use with a CD-ROM Drive

You can update your virtual appliance from an ISO file that the appliance reads from the virtual CD-ROM drive.

Prerequisites

• Shut Down Services for the Current Deployment.

• All CD-ROM drives you use in your upgrade must be enabled before any vCloud Automation Center Appliances are updated. See the vSphere documentation center for information about adding a CD-ROM drive to a virtual machine in the vSphere client.

Procedure

1. Download the update ISO file from the vmware.com Web site.
2. Connect the CD-ROM drive for the virtual appliance you are updating to the ISO file you downloaded.
3. Go to the management console for your virtual appliance by using its fully qualified domain name, https://va-hostname.domain.name:5480.
4. Log in with the user name root and the password you specified when the appliance was deployed.
5. Click the Update tab.
6. Click Settings.
7. Under Update Repository, select Use CDROM Updates.
8. Click Save Settings.

What to do next

• Install the Update on the Identity Appliance.

• If you have completed the update to the Identity Appliance or if you use another VMware appliance to support Single Sign-On capabilities, go to Install the Update on the vRealize Automation Appliance.
