Upload an Update
vShield updates are available as offline updates. When an update is made available, you can download the
update to your PC, and then upload the update by using the vShield Manager user interface.
When the update is uploaded, the vShield Manager is updated first, after which, each vShield App is updated.
If a reboot of either the vShield Manager or a vShield App is required, the Update Status screen prompts you
to reboot the component. In the event that both the vShield Manager and all vShield App instances must be
rebooted, you must reboot the vShield Manager first, and then reboot each vShield App.
To upload an update
1 Click Settings & Reports from the vShield Manager inventory panel.
