A compliance file must be in an available state for
PowerFlex Manager to add the file.
Steps
From the
Getting Started page, click
Upload Compliance File.
Alternatively, click
Settings > Repositories. On the
Repositories page, select the
Compliance Versions tab, and click
Add.
In the
Add Compliance File dialog, select one of the following options:
Download from SupportAssist (Recommended)—Select this option to import the compliance file that contains the firmware bundles you need.
Download from local network path—Select this option to download the compliance file from a CIFS file share. This option is intended for sites that do not have Internet accessibility to
SupportAssist.
If you selected
Download from SupportAssist (Recommended), click the
Available Compliance Files drop-down list, and select the file.
Before downloading a compliance file from
SupportAssist, you must configure
SupportAssist. To configure the
SupportAssist, you must enable
SupportAssist in the
Initial Configuration wizard.
If you are downloading a compliance file from
SupportAssist, the file type is a ZIP or TAR.GZ file.
NOTE:The XML file type is not supported as a download option.
If you selected
Download from local network path, perform the following:
In the
File Path
box, enter the location of the compliance file. Use the following format:
CIFS share for ZIP file:
\\host\share\filename.zip
CIFS share for TAR.GZ file:
\\host\share\filename.tar.gz
If you are using a CIFS share, enter the
User Name and
Password.
Mark the target upgrade catalog as the default version for compliance checking.
Download the 3.6.x and the 4.5.x software catalogs. PowerFlex requires the catalog for the version that the system is on and the target version.
Click
Save.
PowerFlex Manager unpacks the compliance file as a repository that includes the firmware and software bundles that are required to perform any updates.
If the compliance file contains an embedded ISO file for an operating system image (such as for an VMware ESXi or
PowerFlex image), the download process unpacks the file and adds it to the operating system image repository.
A compliance file can be large and take some time to download and unpack. To help you monitor the progress of the downloading and unpacking operations,
PowerFlex Manager provides percentage complete information for these operations in the
State column on the
Compliance Versions tab.
