1. Update Instructions
===================================================================================
Please refer to the installer/user guide for detailed instructions on updating the Avocent® Universal
Management Gateway appliance.
If the current appliance version is older than 1.3.2.1, please update to appliance version 1.3.2.1 before
upgrading to the latest 2.x.x.x version. If your appliance(s) had already been upgraded multiple times using
version 2.x.x.x versions, and you see problems configuring the Service Processors, please contact Technical
Support for a recovery procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When upgrading the appliance to 2.2.1.10 or later from 2.1.1.6 or earlier, please ensure
power is retained on the appliance for at least 60 minutes to allow the upgrade to complete. The appliance
upgrade process requires more time in this version as the FPGA is being upgraded. Also, please avoid rolling
back the version from 2.2.1.10 or later to 2.1.1.6 or earlier since there will be a FPGA downgrade procedure. If
there are any issues with upgrade or rollback, please contact Technical Support for additional assistance.
In order to have features listed in this release available through DSView™ 4 (v4.1.x) management software,
the Avocent® Universal Management Gateway appliance plug-in version 2.7.0.10 or later is required.
Older versions of the DSView™ software and the Avocent® Universal Management Gateway appliance 1.x
plug-in may work with this new firmware but could have limitations with the features or bug fixes of this release.
After upgrading the appliance to version 2.7.0.11, if KVM sessions launched via the DSView™ software display
an error message, resync the appliance with the DSView™ software and try again.
NOTE: If the Web interface Session times out while transferring the firmware upgrade file, the upgrade process
will be cancelled. If this occurs, lengthen or disable the Session Time-Out setting for the Admin user in the Web
interface before starting the upgrade.
