Performing a system update
The DDOS on one or more DD systems can be updated from DDMC with one update operation. If systems are not in an acceptable managed state (for example, unreachable, suspended, updating), the update action is unavailable.
About this task
NOTE For security reasons, there is a 30-minute time limit for the upload of RPM packages for DDMC and DD system updates using the DDMC GUI. If you have a slow connection from a client machine to the DDMC and the upload takes more than 30 minutes, the connection drops and you cannot use DDMC to upload the package.
Workaround: Use the CLI to upload the package into DDMC (for example, use SCP/PSCP from a Unix terminal or Windows CMD).
For DDMC and DD System updates, upload the package to /ddr/var/releases.
