Restoring access to a tenant-created virtual machine
To restore a tenant's access to virtual network ($vmn), run the following commands, where <VMNetworkName> is the name of the
tenant's virtual network, and <[e-mail]> is the tenant's user account:
$vmn = Get-SCVMNetwork –Name <VMNetworkName>
Set-SCVMNetwork -VMNetwork $vmn -UserRole $ur -Owner <[e-mail]>
-Cloud $cloud
Recovering access to a tenant-created VM role
To recover access to a tenant-created VM role, the VM role must be healthy and have all of its associated VMs. Also, the VMM host must
not have been removed and re-added in VMM. To recover access to the VM role, run the following command, where <VMRoleName> is
the name of the VM role, and <[e-mail]> is the tenant's user account:
Set-CloudService -CloudService <VMRoleName> -Owner <[e-mail]> -UserRole $ur -Cloud
$cloud
Updating the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft
The following sections describe how you can apply software and rmware updates for the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp,
using the Patch and Update framework.
Overview of the Patch and Update framework
Use the Patch and Update framework to apply software and rmware updates.
Throughout the lifecycle of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, there are software, driver, and rmware updates that either
address issues or provide for enhanced operations. Dell releases Patch and Update (P&U) bundles to make it easier to maintain the cloud
solution. These bundles ensure that the process of applying updates is minimally disruptive to the solution and the virtual machines that it is
hosting. The bundles are available from Support.dell.com, and combine the relevant software, driver, and rmware updates from both Dell
and Microsoft into a single package. This package is extracted and run from within the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft, and takes
advantage of technologies that enable you to apply the updates in an orchestrated manner. Individual nodes or functions within the cloud
solution may be unavailable during the update process, but the virtual machines that the solution is hosting remain operational. When these
bundles are released, there are Release Notes to describe their contents and instructions that outline how to extract and apply the Patch
and Update bundle within the cloud solution.
WARNING
: The addition of any non-DHCS hardware to your system will cause the Patch and Update process to fail.
NOTE: The P&U framework does not update tenant VMs.
When the P&U framework runs, it does the following:
• Orchestrates the updates so that they are performed in the correct order.
• Automatically puts servers in and out of maintenance mode during servicing.
• Validates components when servicing is complete.
The P&U framework installs approved software updates on infrastructure hosts and VMs for various combinations of the following
products:
NOTE
: Any given package may or may not contain updates from all the categories listed. For the specic contents of any
particular package, see the package Release Notes , which you can obtain from the same download location as the package itself.
See How to obtain the update packages for details.
