Specify Upgrade Compliance Settings
Upgrade compliance settings ensure that the upgrade baseline does not conflict with the current state of your
Data Director virtual appliance.
Prerequisites
Log in to vSphere Client as an administrator.
Verify that the vSphere Client is connected to a vCenter Server system with which vSphere Update Manager
is registered.
Procedure
1 In vSphere Client, select Inventory > VMs and Templates, and click Upgrade Manager.
2 Open the Compliance View and select the virtual appliance to upgrade.
3 ClickAttach.
4 Select the upgrade baseline.
5 Click Attach.
6 Verify that the virtual appliance needs to be updated.
a In the inventory list in the left pane, right-click the baseline.
b Select Scan for Updates.
vSphere Update Manager scans the baseline against the virtual appliance and determines whether the virtual
appliance is up-to-date with the latest Data Director version. A vSphere Update Manager scan result of 100%
means your Data Director version is up to date.
What to do next
If the Data Director virtual appliance is up-to-date, discontinue the upgrade process. If the Data Director virtual
appliance is not up-to-date, go to “Shut Down Data Director,” on page 46 to continue the upgrade process.
Shut Down Data Director
Certain administrative tasks require that you shut down Data Director. These tasks include applying upgrades
and patches. Data Director system administrators shut down Data Director using the Data Director Web UI.
Prerequisites
Log in to the Data Director Web administration UI as a system administrator.
Procedure
1 In the Administration tab, open the Version page.
2 Click Shut Down Data Director.
Data Director starts shutting down. Wait for the process to complete before you continue.
