11 Update 1703b for Cloud Platform System (CPS) Standard
3 1703b Patch and Update Process
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the prerequisites listed in the previous section before you run the 1703b
Patch and Update process.
3.1 Step 1: Run the 1703b DellEMC P&U package
IMPORTANT: You must run the 1703b DellEMC P&U package before you run the 1703b Microsoft P&U
package.
Run the DellEMC P&U package by doing the following:
1. Browse to the shared folder PUShare on the console VM, and create a folder to store the DELLEMC P&U
package, such as PU_DELLEMC#, where # is the number or some other identifier of the specific update
package. For example:
\\<Prefix>CON01\PUShare\PU_DellEMC1703b
IMPORTANT: Do not use the same folder name as an existing folder because you want to maintain a history
of each patching update.
Note: If the update package is larger than 2 GB, and the copy and paste operation fails, see
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2258090.
2. While logged into the console VM, browse to the location where you unzipped the Patch and Update
package you downloaded from the website, and execute the file with the format
DHCS_Update_1703b_Run_First.exe to extract the update. When prompted, select the
PU_DellEMC1703b folder to store the extracted files.
3. Now that the patching environment is set up, you can start the patching process by running a Windows
PowerShell script. Run the following command:
\\<Prefix>CON01\PUShare\PU_DellEMC1703b\PU\Framework\PatchingUpgrade\Invoke-
PURun.ps1 -PUCredential (Get-Credential)
Note: The P&U (Patch and Update) will stop if you have alerts in your SCOM. Please fix any issues reported
by SCOM. If the alerts are not critical you can use:
\\<Prefix>CON01\PUShare\PU_DellEMC1703b\PU\Framework\PatchingUpgrade\Invoke-
PURun.ps1 -PUCredential (Get-Credential) -ScomAlertAction "Continue"
4. When prompted, enter the account credentials of the account that you used to log into the ConsoleVM.
5. The Invoke-PURun script performs a one-time environment setup and may prompt you to restart Windows
PowerShell on its for invocation, for example:
PowerShell environment settings have changed. Please restart the PowerShell console before
proceeding.
