Updating Physical Boxes From CP Interface

In Parallels H-Sphere one can perform Parallels H-Sphere software installation and update on multiple boxes (except for the CP core and Parallels H-Sphere Windows core services) from the administrative control panel:

• Parallels H-Sphere update to the latest version or update of particular services on selected boxes
• Adding Parallels H-Sphere servers and services: physical installation of Parallels H-Sphere software into the new boxes previously added in admin CP as Parallels H-Sphere physical and logical servers

Installation and update from admin CP is performed under certain conditions:

• Before you run Update Wizard to update the whole cluster to a required Parallels H-Sphere version, you need first to update Parallels H-Sphere CP core (and Parallels H-Sphere Winbox core for Windows servers) by downloading and running Parallels H-Sphere update script with the cpupdate option (HSCore package for Windows servers) for this version.
• Update of particular packages and services on each box is according to physical server profiles - sets of update rules assigned to a group of physical servers.

Procedure

To update or install Parallels H-Sphere on selected physical servers:

1. Go to E.Manager -> Update -> Update Boxes:

   

2. Check the servers you need to update/install.
