Overview of Updating Cisco IMC Supervisor Patches

Automated patch update notifications is available in Cisco IMC Supervisor. Cisco IMC Supervisor periodically (every 14 days) checks for any new patch updates that are available in cisco.com using the Cisco Automated Software Distribution (ASD) service. If there are any patch updates later than the current release, the Cisco IMC Supervisor update manager will download the patch into a location within Cisco IMC Supervisor. For example, if the Location displays /opt/infra/uploads/external/downloads/imcs/<filename.zip>, you can use the file:////opt/infra/uploads/external/downloads/imcs/<filename.zip> ftp command in the patch URL. You can then go to the Shell Admin and apply the signed patch. For more information about applying a signed patch, see section Applying a Signed Patch to Cisco IMC Supervisor in the Cisco IMC Supervisor Shell Guide. You can also manually check for availability of any new versions using the Check For Updates Now option.


Note

You will be notified only for new patch updates for the current release. The Cisco IMC Supervisor based update is not applicable for OVF files.

Checking for Cisco IMC Supervisor Patch Updates

For Cisco IMC Supervisor to run periodic checks (once in 14 days) for new patch updates, you must provide your support credentials and other details. These details will be used by Cisco IMC Supervisor to communicate with the Cisco ASD backend service to query for any new updates. Any new versions of the patch will automatically be downloaded into the Cisco IMC Supervisor appliance.
