Managing updates of the Management Unit

The administrator uses the Update tab to manage updates for the Management Units.

Updates extend the system or the M2000 basic software of the MU:

• Add-on packs enhance the basic software and are functional software components which have their own version schema.

• Security fixes contain selected software packages of the basic software and close security gaps.

• Hot fixes solve customer-specific problems.

Updates or their installation sources can be integrated into the system in various ways, with the customer and Customer Support as a rule sharing the tasks (see section "Tasks of Customer Support" and section "Tasks of the customer"):

• Updates can be supplied by FUJITSU on CD/DVD.

• Updates can be uploaded from PC to the MU. Before this is done, they must, for example, be downloaded from a FUJITSU Download Server to a PC.

• Updates can be prepared in advance and even installed by Customer Support.

The Update tab provides you with information on the current status of the updates:

>	Select Hardware -> Units -> [<se server> (SE<model>) ->] <unit> (MU) -> Service, Update tab. The group header of each update type contains a general overview of the information. To obtain detailed information or to execute actions, expand the group concerned.

 The Update tab offers the following functions:

• Transfer update from CD/DVD to system
  All updates contained on the CD/DVD are transferred to the system.
  They are then displayed in the relevant group and can be used further.

• Add-on packs group
  The customer can upload, install, and uninstall add-on packs or delete add-on packs which have not been installed. They can view the readme file for the available add-on packs.
  Installation and uninstallation of add-on packs have an immediate effect on the SE Manager (e.g. adjustment of the tree structure). The add-on is started automatically after the installation.
  If the add-on supports that functionality, the customer can manually change the status of the add-on pack via the startup-symbol (e.g. Start, Stop, Restart, Reload).

• Security fixes group
  The customer can upload and install security fixes.
  He/She can delete security fixes which have not been installed or their installation sources.

• Hot fixes group
  The customer can upload hot fixes.
  He/She can delete hot fixes which have not been installed or their installation sources. Only Customer Support can install hot fixes (see section "Tasks of Customer Support" and section "Tasks of the customer").
