You can update Cloud Manager to the latest version or with a patch that NetApp personnel shared with you.

Enabling automatic updates

Cloud Manager can automatically update itself when a new version is available. This ensures that you are running the latest version.

About this task

Cloud Manager automatically updates at 12:00 midnight if no operations are running.

Steps

  1. In the upper right of the Cloud Manager console, click the task drop-down list, and then select Settings.

  2. Select the checkbox under Automatic Cloud Manager Updates and then click Save.

Updating Cloud Manager to the latest version

You should enable automatic updates to Cloud Manager, but you can always do a manual update directly from the web console. Cloud Manager obtains the software update from a NetApp-owned S3 bucket in AWS.

Before you begin

You should have reviewed what is new in the release to identify new requirements and changes in support.

About this task

The software update takes a few minutes. Cloud Manager will not be available during the update.

Steps

  1. Check whether a new version is available by looking at the lower-right corner of the console:

  3. In the lower-right of the console, click New version available.

  4. On the Cloud Manager Software Update page, click Update next to the version that you want.

  5. Complete the confirmation dialog box, and then click OK:

    2. Read the terms and conditions, and then select the I read and approve the terms and conditions (EULA) check box.
