Upgrading OMIMSSC for SCVMM
After installing and setting up OMIMSSC if a service pack update is available, and then by using the Service Pack Update

About service pack updates
Once OMIMSSC is released, it is required to share any critical defect fixes or feature additions that are available as an upgrade
or extension to the existing OMIMSSC Appliance. You can update service packs and other updates for the OMIMSSC Appliance
operating system and OMIMSSC.
● You can place the service pack files directly in any HTTP server and use the service pack files for updates.
● You can incrementally apply these service packs; however, once applied you cannot roll them back.
● The service packs are cumulative, that is, the latest service pack has fixes from all the previous releases.
The two types of service packs by OMIMSSC:
● OMIMSSC Appliance service packs.
● Infrastructure service packs.
Service packs updates can be applied using two methods:
● Using offline package.
● Using
linux.dell.com
.
To apply the service pack updates using offline package, perform the following steps:
1. Download the service pack from the Web. For more information, see . Downloading OMIMSSC from web
2. Check the list of prerequisites for service pack updates. For more information, see .Instructions for upgrading service packs
3. Copy the downloaded service pack update to repository. For more information, see Copying service pack updates to
repository.
4. Provide the repository URL information in OMIMSSC admin portal. For more information, see Proving repository URL
information.
5. Install the service pack updates. For more information, see Installing service pack updates.
