Deploying the System or Application File Parent topic

Procedure

  1. Select the check boxes next to the devices to which you want to deploy the update.
  2. Click Update.
  3. Accept the license agreement.
    After an operating system update or upgrade, IMSS reboots. An application upgrade might force IMSS to automatically reboot.
  4. If IMSS rebooted, wait for it to start up and log on again.
  5. Go to AdministrationUpdatesSystem & Applications to view the summary screen.
    Note
    Note
    1. During an update, do not modify any other settings. If you are updating several devices, you can click Cancel to stop the update of the next device.
    2. If you have applied some patches on a child device, and later unregister this child device from the parent device, IMSS automatically rescues the system and application files, but you need to re-apply the patches again.
    If a device check box is grayed out, you cannot deploy the files to the device because the device:
    • Already has the updated files.
    • Has more up-to-date files than the ones you are trying to deploy.
    • Is a child device and the patch requires you to upload the files and deploy them to the parent first, or vice versa.
