About Appliance Upgrades and Patches
Distribution Server Requirements
Upgrading an Appliance
Transferring an Upgrade Package to an Appliance
Applying an Upgrade to an Appliance
Phase One—Obtain an upgrade package and load it onto a computer designated as a distribution
server for ACS upgrade distribution. The upgrade is available as a CD-ROM or a file that you
download from Cisco.com.
Phase Two—Transfer installation package files from the distribution server to the appliance. The
HTTP server that is part of the installation package performs the file transfer. The upgrade files are
signed and the signature is verified after uploading to ensure that the files have not been corrupted.
Phase Three—Apply the upgrade to the appliance. Before the upgrade files are applied to the
appliance, ACS verifies the digital signature on the files to ensure their authenticity and to verify
that they are not corrupt.
